Yesterday was the first time we couldn’t find a decent campint spot, we had the tent right behind the car here, not much of a view

We stop at Butchers Dam, last time I was here was with Jasper

The weather back then was better though, lots of cloud today and rain is expected

We did indeed get quite a bit of rain, this is the bridge over the Manuherikia River at Omakau

Which was really awesome, Rachel got the fire going to keep us warm as it was a cold night, we just threw our matrasses on the floor and had a good night’s sleep
Beautiful bridge and the hut was awesome.
