Our trainers still smelt of sour milk after the hike in Cook Islands so we spent the next three days walking around in flip flops, sometimes with socks and sometimes without. If it\'s good enough for the Japanese it\'s good enough for me!! We spent a few days in Auckland doing bits and bobs, mainly shopping. Washed out the smelly trainers, tried to buy a ne...
