My shuttle arrived just after 9am and within about an hour I was back in Frankton. I killed a few hours in a cafe at the Frankton shopping centre until check in time, then headed off to the Frankton holiday park. Not many would have a view like this one.

With my cold worsening I spent the rest off the days trying to sleep it off. Tomorrow I will have to tackle the Kawarau Gorge, so I'm hoping my condition will improve.

Grasshopper is looking quite dusty and travel stained after the last few days.
