Saturday was a very slow day. We needed it. It didn’t rain much except for when we went to Te Anau for pies when the rain picked up. Helen read. I solved more Euler Problems including a couple I’d been deadlocked on.
Today, Sunday, we had a bit of a lie in before having a late breakfast/brunch. Anticipating more rain we headed into Te Anau to visit the cinema and the planetarium. The weather seemed so good that we decided to visit the Doc Center and pick a hike. In the end we decided to hike a part of the Kepler Trail from Rainbow Bridge to the first hut. To our surprise we bumped into Laura and Martin who we first met in Tonga who were crewing aboard Jenny. We ended up hiking along with them and chatting. We all got as far as Shallow Lake where we sat down for a bit. The rain began and threatened worse so we headed back to the fork in the trail and parted company.
It was nice to have a day off yesterday as we were getting exhausted. It was getting too easy to lie around all day though and it’s been good to get going again. Having gone off the idea (during the lazy day) we’re back to contemplating doing the Kepler Trail all round. It is very much dependent on the weather as tomorrow it is again forecast to rain heavily and the day after it gets cold. If we plan and gamble a little we may pull it off.
