Q is for Queen Charlotte Track: tramping day 2, Furneaux Lodge to Punga Cove

A gentle day, weather so good to us too, 12 km following the sweep of Endeavour Inlet.

We started the day slow, made sure our bags were ready for collection at 9am - the best way to walk the 4 days of the QCT is to organise a water taxi to fetch and then drop your bags each day at the next stop.

Marvelous! After enjoying a leisurely breakfast we ambled off, enjoying the ease of the walk and also mindful of the big days of tramping that come next. The green and yellow signboards mark your progress along the way and we would look out for the simple post, counting down the kilometres and today we passed the 51 kilometres to go...

Punga Cove, our second overnighter, was social, we had time for a swim and spa and then down to the Boatshed Bar right on the waters edge, yachties at the bar, a group of guys having their bachelor bash, and we chilled over a barbecue and a memorable huge serving of my first Kiwi Pavlova, which was absolutely delicious.

Day 2 of 4, 27km of 71km.
