Couple of things on the to-do list,
Top priority, sleep in… followed by trying not to walk too much. I had laundry to do, and food rations and snacks to count and prepare for the next couple of days. Then time to hit the streets of Wanaka and browse the shops and scenery.
Unfortunately I also discovered why I kept on getting so many small stones in my both my shoes lately… turns out my trail runners are about to give up, with massive holes in both of them. This means shoe shopping as well, ugh.
At the end of the day, everything is prepared, ready to hit the road again. Got new shoes as well, and will have to break them in, fast, in the next two days before hitting the mountains. I might still carry my old ones with me, just in case.

After Reading your messages of all the kms walked the last two days… looks like you didn’t follow much one of your top priorities, and I quote “Top priority, sleep in… followed by trying not to walk too much.“
I should have said, priority for that day then. The trail is not going to walk itself, so walking is inevitable.
All the best wif da new shoes🙃
I think the shoes will be okay. I did 22km with them yesterday including a little hill and my feet feel okay. Time will tell.
