Forecast rain

Wednesday 17th. Despite the rain another lovely drive through a bit more of the southern Alps to Murchisson. 

Having been unable to access wifi for the last three nights we had to hunt round for a motel with a vacancy. Mataki Motel is a pleasant place but the most expensive that we have stayedin. Also, wifi isn't that great either. Will have to see whether or not it improves with time. Came out to lunch to try and find a wifi signal but no luck. Could pay to join a public network but not sure that it is worth it. 

Returned to motel, spoke to owner who fiddled about with connectors and reset routers and all now seems to be working. 

A quiet supper in the motel and then bed.
