Moutain climbing!

Since I wrote last, I have climbed a mountain just opposite to Mt Cook. Elad (and isralean guy I am travelling with at the moment) and I rented a car from Wanaga and drove there. The pictures are of the road to Mt Cook (absolutely amazing landscape), Elad on the way up the mountain and me on the top. We stayed there for a night in a isolated hut with app. 10 other people that had climbed the mountain that day also. There was no heat but the a wonderful sunset over the mountains. I know pictures cant capture landscapes, but it was beautiful.

I am now in Queenstown – after delivering the car back, hitchhiking here and sleeping for app 12 hours – I discovered a very touristy city! This is the place you go if you want to get drunk, are app. 20 years, want to do wild things and get crazy… not personally my cup of tea… at least not like this! But luckily they have an amazing park where I have been hiding ever since with my book high up in a three. Nice to have some time alone!

Tomorrow I am heading out to a 11 day treck through the Routeburn trek, Milford and Doubtful Sounds, Steward Island and then to Christchurch. Not back before the 3th of feb. Really looking forward to it, but it is many days with a lot of new faces – I am traveling with 11 unknown people…. But as of tomorrow they will no longer be :)

I hope you are all good! Talk to you soon :)
