April 27 - May 11, 2004
Tasman: 3 days, 2
nights "hut" hiking
through
mountains and
beaches. An
extraordinary
escape!
I took over 80 pictures total at the
Abel Tasman -I walked through the
rain and through unanticipated rivers
with the crew to the right
represented:
Holland,
Sweden, Ireland,
England, and
America - not
Australia
way to
the
nearest
brewery?
There it
is!

walk on ice during
the rain (with a 90
ft crevasse beside
you-doh!) >>>

during the drive
to Milford
Sound (from
Queenstown). It
rained all
morning,
creating
waterfalls

drive to the
Routeburn Track -
we should have
known we were lost
when a stream ran
through the road -
but we kept going!
