Was hungry and tired after about 35km today. I was sitting by the roadside along with some construction workers when Liz stopped by to ask what I was doing, shared her homemade sandwich and wished me luck. Oh, the joy of being on the open road, and the trail angels!
Got my first ride in a NZ cop’s car today :). I was on a shady part of SH1 highway with no shoulder. He was concerned and gave me a ride for a km to get me to a safe section. Even Kiwi cops rock.
