This morning I woke up nice and early to a gorgeous day.  Not a cloud in the sky, a little cool and not a breath of wind.

I hadn’t made any plans for the day but there was no way I could spend the day inside so I jumped in the car and headed down to Glenorchy where there are a bunch of hiking tracks (they call it ‘tramping’ in NZ).  In the end I decided to shoot up the Routeburn Track (one of the ‘Great Walks’).  I had been up there years and years ago and I was keen to see how far up I could get.

Surprisingly there was a little bit of snow up high which stopped me in my tracks but I had a great 7hr walk, there wasn’t many people about and I think I even got a little burnt.

I got the camera out a couple of times but these photos really don’t do it justice.
