Day 343: Rainbow Reach Trail

Finally our first, non-logistics day in New Zealand. We started the day by hiking the Rainbow Reach trail; 3 hour hike that takes you past a scenic river from Lord of the Rings and finishes at a large lake. It was pretty flat, so this was a great starter hike for our muscles. The views included very old trees, marshes, and the fjords sliding down to lakes edge. We debated Marvel movies, X-men, and Kieran's issues with the Lord of the Rings movies that he's harbored since childhood.

After our hike, we went into Te Anau to pick up some groceries and medicine. Grabbed steaks, rice, and salad for dinner and then finished off the night with the Two Towers
