Waterfall loop, summit climb passing a bunch of people, snow slide in the crater, running down the mountain again, noisy kids in the hut,
rainy weather, muddy ridge walk, full hut, long days with a lot of a elevation
all the way after the Tararuas to Wellington in one day, about 100k with more or less elevation, sun burning on my skin...found an umbrella, so many stairs, first time seeing the South Island
recovering after the long hiking days, the first night I stayed at McDonalds, then in a hostel next to a McDonalds trying every gourmet chicken burger, once the group arrived, we stayed at Steph'sOkumaya devam et
taking the ferry to the South Island and then a water taxi to the start of the Queen Charlotte Track
The first part of the South Island along the ridge between two sounds, beautiful views, nice campsites
walking up the River through fields and over fences, after 20 km surprisingly meeting up with the rest of the group again, who hitched all the way to the first campsite, they hitched even further...20Okumaya devam et
first mountains on the South Island, a lot of alleviation, more hikers than bunk beds, stunning views, good weather conditions
a ridge walk down the mountain, walking barefoot for 4 hours because my heels hurt....my whole feet hurt afterwards, a cold but awesome swimming hole at a hut, beautiful river walk
