After a particularly slow start this morning and a bit of admin we headed over to the Missing Leg backpacker place where Allen was staying. Allen managed to secure a couple of nights free accommodation in exchange for one of our spare tickets. Result Allen!! The weather has been terrible in this part of NZ and today was no exception. We couldn't see the mountain of Taranaki at all! Still, we decided a walk would blow the cobwebs away and we headed to Lake Mangamahoe. We got very wet, but also saw a black swan which are pretty common here but pretty none the less, and a tonne of tree ferns, rhododendrons, and calla lilies which grow wild here in big crops. A quiet evening at the backpackers with our socks drying in front of the fire is in order!!
