Day 143, 144 – Stuart island days 3 and 4 – Bungaree hut to Oban

Everyone left the hut, I had enough food for another day, so I decided to stay, it was just too nice to leave! I waded in the water, I would have gone swimming if there was a good place to rinse off, salt and hiking don’t mix well.

I walked along the beach. I found out I have bad signal at the far end of the beach, so I booked a bed at the hostel the next night. I read a book. And just relaxed and enjoyed such a lovely place!

Eventually a kayaker came in as well as tow women who got dropped off by water taxi. The kayaker happened to be there two or three weeks earlier and met Malween just after he had finished the TA.

The first time I dragged my ass out of bed that night to see the stars, the Milky Way was covered by clouds. I went and watched a little Netflix and half an hour later I reluctantly dragged my ass back out of bed. I was glad I did!

The next day I took my time packing up and took a lot of breaks at beaches on my way back to town.
