Te Aroha to Okaiua

We spent our day off in the cabin we hired for the night. It rained all day and we didn´t have the chance to visit the town or go for a walk.
Today we were determined to move on, even if that meant cycling in the rain, but we got lucky.
It seemed to us that we were not going to escape the bad weather but we never got a single drop of rain!
We could see clouds discharging to the east and west of us but we were cycling through a dry spell, and it seemed to follow us all the way into Okoiura where the next campsite was waiting.
We took backroads all the way to Okoiura, which is not a village but just a campsite with hot springs. We might have ridden some more today but we were afraid our luck was running out and sure enough, an hour after we stopped and checked in, it started to rain heavily.

We spent the rest of the day watching cartoons with Ella.
