Hey all. This will be a short post. Just wanted to provide a quick update. We are currently in Te Anau, NZ, which is on the west coast, southern part. Very near the famous Milford Sound. We just got back from a four day tramp on the Kepler Track. Very pretty. Lots of alpine views, views of the fiords, pretty forest walking and our first stays in the Great Walks' huts. We didn't have the option to camp this time and were forced to shell out the $40 per person per night at each hut. A blessing in disguise though, as the first hut was quite high up and quite cold and rainy that first night. I would have been quite grumpy in the tent. After that we really lucked out on the weather and had a clear day for the most important day which was over the pass with all the views. We're taking the day off tomorrow, so maybe I'll copy the journalling I did onto the website if anyone is interested in the minutae of the hike. I'd like to get pictures up of it, but the internet in this town is fairly restrictive and expensive, so we'll see. It might have to wait until we get to Queenstown. For now our plans are to kayak the Milford Sound and do one more big hike. Only two weeks left in NZ. Amazing!
Hope all is well back home!
