Dear blog, here’s A.S long delayed trip
report back in Wanaka, NZ.
It may be short and hopefully, it is sweet,
too.
2nd day in Wanaka
- Met new friends over breakfast
at the hostel and joined them for a hike at
- The objective was to get a closer look at the glacier.
- It wasn’t a pleasant ride to get to the starting point of the National Park.
- Imagine a bumpy ride for 10 km maneuvering narrow stony unpaved road but the landscape and encounter with deers and sheep was superb.
- Followed the track but glacier didn’t seem to get any closer after 1 hour’s walk.
- View was however picturesque and there were sheep grazing on the slopes.
- Some streams crossing required without any bridges.
3rd day in Wanaka
- Met a friend again who stayed at the same hostel in Hokitika a week earlier.
- Joined him to Mount Ithmus overlooking Lake Hawea.
- Awesome hike, awesome solitary getaway, awesome landscape. If you wonder about the sound, pure “…..”. Blissful, absolutely blissful.
- So peaceful that A.S and mate stole a nap for 30 minutes.
- That evening, A.S and mate separated and A.S continued her journey to yet another spectacular city, Queenstown.
Next up...
