First rain stage
During the night it started to rain in Tirohanga. Nevertheless, in the morning we decided to pack up and ride the tandem for the first time properly in the rain. The bad weather depressed the motivation, but we still made good progress. When the weather got better in the afternoon we also rode a bit further than initially planned and spent the night in Te Kaha. Thanks to the brisk wind and sun, the tent and the rain clothes dried quite quickly.
