Day 35, Jo's Funny Farm to Waitomo (889)
A good morning start with fresh eggs, beans and toast for breakfast before taking to the road.

I was offered a lift soon after I started which I happily declined to enjoy the walk.
 |
| Beautiful area |
A gravel road first then onto some really good paths with only a little bit of mud.
 |
| You can tell it's not Scotland |
I was walking today with Daniella, an American who had arrived at Jo's last night. We both walked at a similar pace.
 |
| Road washout |
It was a glorious days walk with great scenery, a good path and good company.

There was a river on the path that no one had crossed since the heavy rains had made it impassable but we decided to try it, a decision that could have added 20k extra to the day of it was too deep to cross.

It was fast and muddy but not too deep and we crossed safely and continued on the excellent path.
 |
| Bush trail |
All too soon we reached the road and it was then just a short walk to an excellent hut owned by a caving club.
 |
| Incredible scenery |
Showers, kitchen, dining area, sitting area and patio with a number of separate bedrooms. And a stove.
 |
| Sunset from the hut |
Probably the best days walk so far and another good night.
 |
| Interesting cloud and view! |
