Escaping Takaka


My original "plan" had me staying in Takaka for two nights. Well... the brilliant weather, a free porch to sleep on, a house full of crazy kids, and beaches within walking distance kept me here three extra nights.

Today I pried myself away. Three hitches later - thanks to an old man in his pickup, an ex-pat Scottish carpenter, and a generous German named Martin - I make it some 60km to the Heaphy Track trail head.
