Te Anau ( NZ south island)
The weather had improved thank god, it was actually quite a sunny day...whats more we stopped off on the way for a little shopping and found crumble, we have wanted crumble and custard for ages now and just couldnt find any, but we have a its huge so will have to have half each!! We booked to stay at a backpackers just out of Te Anau. It was ok, little log cabin but a bit aged, main thing we can cook our crumble!!
Te Anau itself was really nice the lake was lovely! We did a spot of survival shopping in the way of walking boots and waterproofs, its getting to the point where we really need them so enough is enough and we hit the shops!!
We spent a couple of nights here at Te Anau, the first full day we went tramping, and i dont mean going round rounding all the homeless up either, the locals call wlaking tramping out here!! But yeh there is a 3day walk (the NZ walk) and its called the Kepler Track, well we just did day one of this up Mnt Luxamore, it was a good day so that was a good start, but the walk was hard going, it was mainly a climb and god could i feel it, we made it to the top and got to the Luxamore hut, didnt make it to the summit as we was both knackered and had to come back down again, it felt like a life time getting back to the car..i was that tired i was tripping over and everything my legs just didnt want to carry on, We worked it out later and we had walked 28km...about 17.5miles...oh god!!!! Definately worked off that wild berry crumble and custard we ate last night!!
Next morning the plan was to check out and make our way to Milford Sound stopping off on the way to do a little 3hr walk around lake Marian half way there realised we had left phone charger and adaptor in room back at Te Anau...so carried straight on to Milford and made a few phonecalls!!
