We made it out of the Dusky Track after nine days on the trail and over 122km tramped. Four out of the five that started survived, not too shabby. We were all pretty stoked to have been able to trek and live in such a beautiful place that few people get to experience. Twas a truly rewarding jouney.
We spent the night off the trail eating, showering, laundering, and being merry. The next day we drove a couple hours east to Queenstown, a very picturesque Tahoe like city. It was NZ's national independence day, Waitonga day. The day they became a British colony and ended the war with the Maoris. Coincidentally it was also Bob Marley's birthday. There was a quaint reggae festival in the park. There were a lot of hippies climbing trees and tight rope walking. We played some touch rugby with some local kiwis and enjoyed a few Steinlagers with them. Sweet as. That is where we leave off.Cheers!!!
