Day 51: Bonus Zero Day

November 30th, 2019

Kilometers 1354.8-1354.8

Whanganui River Top 10 Holiday Park

We woke up at 8:30am and to my surprise, nobody had seemed to mind that we were camping next to the boats.
I had been so tired that I didn’t even set up my thermarest and just sleep inside my tent on the ground.
Alex and I went up to reception and were able to get the only cabin they had available at that moment and move in quickly. We also were able to get our bounce box, which we had sent there.
All of us got our stuff out of the canoes and into the very small cabin quickly.
We then set off with showering and doing laundry.

After we had cleaned both ourselves and our clothes, we used the complimentary shuttle service to head into town.
We ate pizza at Hell Pizza, which Alex did not enjoy as much as Peter, Charlie, and myself.
From there, we went shopping on Victoria Street where Alex and I each got pullovers and Peter and Charlie got new shoes.
We then went to Countdown and got steak, potatoes, and salad as the fixings for a great dinner.

After dinner, the dishes were done and we went to the game room where Alex and I continually beat Peter and Charlie in both ping pong and air hockey.
We are all super tired but the night paddle was definitely worth it as it gave us nearly another full day off. Another rest day tomorrow and we should be good to go by Monday.
