Down on the Farm.

Frosty start to the day at Tapawera camp site.Frosty start to the day at the Tapawera POP.

Waking to a –3.3deg frost this morning was bad enough but to have the gas run out about 15 minutes after putting the heater on was not fun. Dragging myself out of the pit again to dress and go outside to change the tanks over soon had the eye wide open.

Hot porridge was needed after all this frivolity to thaw out the inner man. After breakfast we went down to the barn to see the goats being milked and have a chin wag with Mike and Gail. We were duly supplied with our dozen free range eggs and a litre of goats milk to take away and try.
