Circle Pacific 1998/99 - Day 77 - New Zealand

• Instead of hitching, checked into rental cars to Waitomo - too much - decided to put it off till Palmerston North
• Came back to hostel to collect Dave's fishing gear + a license
• Walked up Hwy 41 to Tokaanu (6 km)
• Dave tried fishing in 3 different spots - waded in to his chest

• Cast for a couple hours - no luck - he finally decided it was boring + no fun - rather catch one on the trail somewhere - headed back to Turangi
• Got a ride back, but nothing earlier in the day - would have been a dismal hitch to Waitomo
• Borrowed a hostel-mate's catch to make impressive if truth-deficient photo!
