With the good luck of being laid off ;) and the wonderful support of Maaike (practically pushing me out of the house to enjoy this month off) I decided to do the Hump Ridge track. I’d originally planned on just doing the St. James for the n’th time, but, Maaike said why not try the hump ridge, so, I did :)
It’s a really long way down to the start (about 9 hours of driving) so I decided to split it in half and head down the coast to Dunedin and catch up with my old flatmate Mark Tynan.
Lovely drive down past omaru and stopped off at Moeraki for a quick walk on the beach
Got there around dinner time with a bottle of wine and some chocolates to add to the mix. Stéphanies dad sister and brother were in town too, so I got to dust off some very very rusty French.
They’ve been busy prepping the place for a build. They’ve got in a house-by-flatpack from Eastern Europe and are planning on doing a bunch of the work themselves. Mark even bought a digger and learned how to use it. Amazing.
It was a really lovely evening and chance to catch up. Just wonderful.
