Keep on movin'

I'm loving this! (Almost resorted to a phrase now tarnished by an evil multinational.) NZ has got to be one of the best places in the world to backpack. My adventures have taken me to meet many new people (mainly through hitching), get very cold, and very happy. I've seen a little of what's referred to here as the backcountry, and it's great.


On a rock in a tiny little cove only reachable by walking (with my blanket-slash-poncho hence bat-like appearance)

  

Freedom camping near Jackson Bay (West Coast), with my new tent and Belgian chaffeur. I woke up cold - the clear weather means the temperatures drop quite low at night - frost everywhere.

  

A solo hike up to the bush line of one of the southern alps. I didn't make it; my water was running out and I didn't think I could find a stream : ( I did however really enjoy this chocolate/snooze break!

  
  




I'm now in beautiful Queenstown, and am taking a paragliding lesson tomorrow. This is good!

I'm neither!

I can't download the bloggerbot software because I'm using internet cafes.
