Nice road start to the day just boardering the Kahurangi National park . 

  
  
The check point for the day at Lake Rotoroa , beautiful spot but very hungry sandflies . 

From here I wanted to high tail it to get to Murchison so i could rejoin Chris and Jackson and have a fun following day with them . 

  
The home stretch before the last bit of highway to Murchison . 

Made it to Murchison , before dark, joined up with Chris and Jackson for dinner at the pub
