Today was a long day. The weather was great so I decided to had back to Milford and do the cruise. That's a problem since it's in the wrong direction from where I wanted to go (Dunedin). Left Te Anau at 9:50 towards Milford. it's 136km north. I picked up a couple of American hitchikers (Elizabeth and Desiree). Of course I missed the 11:30 cruise, and ended up getting the 12:25 cruise. The cruise was beautiful! Amazing fiords, lovely views.
The two hitchhikers also drove back with me to Te Anau. As we got out of Milford there was another hitchiker (his name is Tristan) and I picked him up as well. He is a local school teacher from Invercargill, who just finshed the Milford track (he sneaked in there and slept in the open). It was clear that I was not going to make it to Dunedin, so I decided to only shoot for Inevrcargill (about 180km from Te Anau eastbound), and Trsitan offered his place for lodging (he shares a house with two housemates). Again, dinner was a feast: pasta with meat sauce, salad, and my first shakshuka flying solo (turned out ok, but there's certainly room for improvement).
