We slept right the way through to 7am when I woke to a call from Mum, Dad, Will and Zoe! Was so lush to speak to them all- it's good to text home but there's something about hearing real voices that's quite comforting! We wished each other Merry Christmas since I'm not going to have signal in the Tararuas on Christmas Day but eventually had to stop chatting since the costs to call abroad from home are probably ridiculous!
We spent the morning at the cinema! Dad had let us know that Rogue One, the new Star Wars film was out and we decided we might as well treat ourselves.
Afterwards, we did the little bit of shopping we needed to do- finally got myself some Teva sandals and some new socks (very happy) and Luke got himself some new pants since his other ones had disintegrated at the legs. We got food shopping for the next 7 days and headed back to Brian and Paula's where we packed our bags and left a note in their Te Araroa book with a Koha. They are holding onto our camera so we don't have to carry it and we're going to pick it back up on the way back in the car - people are so helpful!!
It was 5.30pm before we left so we just walked 10km beside the stream and past Massey University where we found a little patch of green beside the water to camp up.
