Arthur's Pass

We awoke to a fresh layer of snow…there goes our planned hike for the pass. I’ll have to come back here someday, they have some great off track hikes in this region. Just need some river crossing and avalanche training.

We opted to flee the frigid weather and make the long drive up to Nelson (only 5 hours, longest drive yet). Along the way we finished our first audio book Dune and have now started Lord of the Rings which the surrounding landscape really brings alive.

We have arrived at Nelson which feels like a big city compared to the recent places we have been. We have settled in to plan our next 4 day trek in Abel Tasman and treated ourselves to a movie night.Okumaya devam et
