tramping circus

The GGG had our last trip just the 3 of us (for now!) this weekend to Stewart Island – the 3rd island of NZ.  We drove south, jumped on a ferry, tied up our laces, and hit the Raikura track. We stayed in a hut with some nice people from Belgium and enjoyed dinner of pre-made tortilla wraps.

Then it was a long 11 hour hike done in 8 hours back to Oban for a nice real meal and bed! 

mud, mud, mud


we did it!

We spent Monday morning site seeing Oban and enjoying the Stewart Island life including fancy crepes, the maritime museum, beer and pool, and puppies, ponies, and whales!
