🗓️ December 23-24 and 25, 2025

🏁 Kilometers : 1440

Leaving the campsite this morning, we only have to walk 8 kilometers to reach downtown Whanganui. We have breakfast with Natalie and Jolly, then go to the cinema to see Avatar 3. Afterward, I reach the Airbnb we have booked for three nights to celebrate Christmas.

I organize a Middle Eastern-style breakfast on the morning of the 24th, and we celebrate Christmas Eve with a potluck dinner where everyone prepared a specialty from their country, each putting a lot of love into their dish. We hold a raffle for gifts, as everyone have brought a present that could be eaten during the trek. On the morning of the 25th, Gregg and Ashley prepare an American breakfast, and Ellen cook  us an Australian dinner for the evening of the 25th.

We haven't eaten this much in ages!
