ROUTEBURN TRACK, NEW ZEALAND
Harris Saddle hut. Heading to the top of the rock behind.
Not taking away from some significant and noticeable grades, the trail is extremely well maintained, affording many people of varying degrees of hiking prowess attempt the crossing. Individuals right from completely self-supported by tent to guided excursions where other than your blisters carried for you, most everything is looked after.

On the way up. Wait. I was smiling. Maybe I was on my way down?

Much of these western views are in the direction of Milford
Sound, Here we could have dropped to another Hut on route and then on the
trail head we started five days ago.
Hungry? Meat on a knife. This dairy rich country cranks out some serious cheese which is lurking somewhere in the pack. Add some bread. Know what's for lunch?
Meat, cheese and bread.
New Zealand was the last country in the world to be inhabited. Shortly after the first Europeans arrived, some fellow by the name of Whittaker got right on to making FINE chocolate.
Know what's for dessert?
( I've always dreamt of being left alone on a desserted island)

It's, almost, downhill from here.
