We had planned to stay at Eketahuna, but the car park by the club was not terribly inviting. So we walked up one side of the main street and down the other, and then we were back on the road again. It did seem like a nice little town though, with not as many empty buildings as most.
We ended up staying by Gate 3 at the Tui Brewery. It was off the main road and a firm surface after the rain. And of course, we had to go and have a drink at the brewery. We met an interesting couple, a singer and an actor who were happy to chat and share the heater we had sat under.
The next day we travelled a huge 12km. It was plenty far enough in the strong cross winds. We hunkered down for a couple of nights behind the town sports complex while we waited for the wind to ease.
