Been hiking down under the equator again. This time New Zealand, where I hiked with a friend from PCT '96.
I wrote quite a long blog entry for this one, complete with lots of pictures, it's over 5,000 words this time.
New Zealand is an awesome country with the friendliest people.
My only complaint is that they've culled almost all the wild mammals they had.
And they ever did have snakes. Just sand flies!

Here's the link to the 5,000 word blog with pictures of my travels there:
