So this is when I lost contact with you. JD looks great..... Really relaxed.... And Jen?

Jenny & Jean-Daniel • 12 Nov, 2022

Relaxed too!

Marion • 09 Nov, 2022

Lots of boots outside the hut 😊 did you meet some interesting people?

Jenny & Jean-Daniel • 12 Nov, 2022

We met interesting people but not enough time to make friends!

Marion • 09 Nov, 2022

What an adventure.. wet shoes though. An electric eel?

Jenny & Jean-Daniel • 10 Nov, 2022

Wet everything! Not sure about the eel - glad we didn't find out!

Marion • 09 Nov, 2022

Wow but at least you can see the path. Absolutely amazing countryside What were the temperatures? Cold or mild?

Jenny & Jean-Daniel • 10 Nov, 2022

Pretty mild - maybe 20°C on average...

Marion • 09 Nov, 2022

Ok a few stairs to negotiate. How are your knees?

Jenny & Jean-Daniel • 10 Nov, 2022

All joints and ligaments are holding up fine, thanks :)

Indiana Jones bridge! Was it ver high?

Jenny & Jean-Daniel • 10 Nov, 2022

10-15m at most I would say. We weren't overwhelmed by the height in any case. These bridges - of which there are many - swing a lot though!

It must be really damp all the time to have ferns growing that tall.

Jenny & Jean-Daniel • 10 Nov, 2022

The west coast of New Zealand's South Island is definitely not short on water! On average it rains 300+ days of the year.

He is bored?

Jenny & Jean-Daniel • 10 Nov, 2022

Tired! It was the end of the day.

Marion • 09 Nov, 2022

Marvelous...

Marion • 09 Nov, 2022

Any fish 🐟 in the rivers. Can you fish?

Jenny & Jean-Daniel • 10 Nov, 2022

Yes, lots of fishing but it is regulated. Fishing is a popular hobby in New Zealand, together with hunting.

Marion • 09 Nov, 2022

Lovely 🌹 photo... You both look rather glad that you have arrived. Did you feel isolated on your walk or did you see other walkers?

Jenny & Jean-Daniel • 10 Nov, 2022

You can only do this walk in one direction, and everybody stays in the same huts. So we did bump into other walkers as well.

Marion • 09 Nov, 2022

Jump JD jump🤣🤭

Jenny & Jean-Daniel • 10 Nov, 2022

Hehe, not sure the water would have been very warm!
