24 Hours of travelling

Today is 24 hours of airports and flying. Wellington to Sydney, Sydney to Bangkok, Bangkok to Kolkata, Kolkata to Bhutan. Actually it think it is more than 24 hours.

We did an 18 km day on the third day in Wanaka and survived pretty well, during that day we made a half hearted attempt on Roy’s peak which overlooks Wanaka township but we had left it too late in the day and were running short of water by that time. Some photos will be attached as soon as i can get to a link that is more than 56k, but the really ones that count are coming up tomorrow, Bhutan.

The start!

Well we are in our third day at Wanaka, first day we simply wandered the local area after getting off the plane at Queenstown. It was about an hour over the crown range to Wanaka. We quickly found the best local recommended walks and headed to the Rob Roy glacier the second day. For 3-4 hours of effort this has to be one of the most spectacular walks available in NZ. Driving an hour from Wanaka towards MT Aspiring in stunning alpine countryside then a steady uphill walk through beach forest and arriving surrounded by glacier covered peaks in a small alpine meadow. A couple of piccies attached.

Today we went wandering into the local rock climbing zone for an hour or 2. This gave us some great shots of lake Wanaka. I will be needing another trip soon to try the cliffs.

Of course we had to unwind after such difficult days, and Keren was roaming dangerously with a camera.
