I must travel like the wind. My demons ride behind me on fast bikes and they don’t need to stop for pee breaks.

Awapiri Station to Molesworth Station:
I was planning on camping at Molesworth station but with the wind and the rain, it was so gross out and I was cold, so after a nap and some ramen, I figured I would just keep biking.
Molesworth Station to Acheron Campsite:
Apparently there are hot springs and a bakery at my next stop, so I will be spending 10 hours in the hot springs and eating 10 meat pies (on my list to try: steak and cheese, pork belly, salmon/bacon).
