Anakiwa to Havelock – 18kms

Total 87kms

Today we finished the Queen Charlotte section and have arrived in Havelock where we will be having a rest and resupply day tomorrow in preparation for the 10 day section ahead.

It was a nice easy day, mostly flat walking on the Link Pathway that runs parallel to the road all the way to Havelock. I tried out my new lightweight merino long sleeve shirt. It was really nice to wear, even when it was hot and I was wet through with sweat. I might get another one at some stage.

Havelock is a nice little town. Its all about the Green Lipped muscles here. A few good cafes, restaurants and takeaway places to choose from. We are staying right in town at the Havelock Garden Motel.
