Great to be back on the TA Trail again.
Up at 5.00am and to the airport at 5.45 to check in. Jetstar looked after me very well and everything happened as it should. Arrived at Auckland and started walking at 8. Took the short diversion to Manukau for a milkshake and to buy a hat. It is so hot up here.
Passed heaps of dairies today so lots of ice-cream and cold drinks.
Arrived at Ramarama at Trail Angel Brent’s at 5.30 pm. He lives in a nice place with stunning views.
I should make it to Mercer and Hamilton tomorrow afternoon.
