When you reach the top, you realise you're not even half way through. You think, easy, it's all downhill from here.
You spend the next 10 odd kilometres zig-zagging your way down. It goes on and on and on.
The last 3 kilometres are through fairly dense vegetation. At this point your feet are sore and you're dreaming of a shower, even if it has to be in the hostel's communal bathroom. Even that top bunk bed in your 8 person mixed dorm (never again!) sounds rather inviting. In this semi-delirious state (was it just me?), you recall uncomfortable memories of stick insects from your last venture into the lush wilderness in Paihia.
So you just keep calm and carry on. You're almost there.
Then you're there. 7 and a half hours, I believe. Big deal for this lazy cow.
Most people fell asleep during the bus journey back to Turangi.
