Following my stint in Nelson Lakes, I made it back up to Mapua to bid farewell to Mary and headed south to Queenstown. I based out of here for the remainder of my trip in NZ. The above are photos from the Routeburn Track. A beautiful three day walk through amazing high country in Fiordland National Park. I camped in some beautiful places and met some wonderful international travelers. So after three days of walking, sweating, swimming and taking in breathtaking views, I went to Te Anau to prepare for the acclaimed Milford Track the following day.
Treetops whistle as the first stars show. The stone peaks surrounding Lake McKenzie still pose in the remaining twilight, standing guard over the valley. And I allow my tired self, after a tea with whiskey, to slowly fade off to bed and the coming night.
Hey Evan, Stumbled across your blog. You may not see this since it's been a few years since your last post and you're probably it jumping fires; but cool to see how much traveling you've done. It was awesome meeting you last year in Burns and getting b to meet you and the c est of the bros. Thank you for looking out for me and taking care of me. I know you were. Maybe I'll see you again this season sometime. I hope so. ;) God bless. -Emily (BFO-Burns)
