Taipo River Flat near Seven Mile Hut

We looked out the window to see clearing clouds, but after breakfast, they had gotten worse again, and a light rain was falling. We decided to skip climbing over the Kelly range, since we would not be able to see anything, including the markers. So we walked out along a 4WD trak back to the road for 2 hours. After hitching a lift back to Arthurs pass (only about two cars passed before we got a ride!), we washed clothes and bodies and got some food and beer at the café. After dinner I talked with Jennifer for a few hours again, about the hike, what to do next, other travel desires and other stuff. I used my tent for the first time, since I hadn’t booked at the ‘Mountain House’ but this is probably better, since I slept poorly in the shared room. Now I need to decide whether to ditch the Kiwi Experience thing altogether.
