First view of Auckland City! The sky tower is on the horizon but almost impossible to spot in the photo...

*Throwback Story Time*

Those of you who followed our south island exploits with Horsing Around Aotearoa might recognise Josh. We made friends with him during the winter we stopped in Wanaka, and once we left again he was living in Queenstown. Anytime he was driving back to Auckland to visit his family, he made it his mission to track us down, bringing us beer and chocolate. He'd cook us a mean feed too and was a real trail angel for us! He had a knack of turning up at the end of some of our hardest days, making us appreciate his support that much more.

Last night I had the pleasure of finally visiting his home and meeting his parents and brother, and his beautiful new wife Belen and gorgeous wee daughter who I hadn't met yet. I've looked forward to it since we left Wanaka and it feels like a milestone to have made it this far. I only wish Kendall was with us to make the reunion complete 💓

Thanks to Chris and Marie for organising a paddock for us at the dairy farm they live on, and to Josh's mum Heidi for dropping me back to Sprite in the morning 🙌
