James Dunn what an awesome man. Met at Cape Reinga brought a tee shirt, made a donation, had karakia with all the whanau then had Te Karere follow us up. He then obtained accommodation for us in Te Kao and had his friends, whanau look after us and feed us. Great man. Is also trying to round up all sorts of support up and down the country. Hey James say thanks to all the work men at the Cape for the brand new foot path that I could walk on.
As for Dean the camera man from Te Karere he was stalking us. Found us having lunch, did an interview and took some photos shots of us doing different things. Went on to Waitiki Landing found some support and some much needed water. Then he found us again at afternoon tea time brought in some support did another interview and more shots and on his way. Great timing.
This first 20 kms. is unsealed gravel road. Hard on the legs and feet. Made progress really slow, we did not get as far today as hoped lets see if we do better tomorrow without the gravel. The support of travelers in the far north was very warm and friendly. Thanks to all those people who stopped talked made donations and asked questions.
It was a beautiful day to start the hikoi on. Sunny, fine, nice cool breeze. One heck of a sun this evening. Hope the pictures come out.
