As we travel through New Zealand, we will do our best to send dispatches from the road. Updates may be sporadic, but we hope to keep everyone informed and excited about the progress of the trip.

We will also upload photographs to the Walkabout SmugMug account. Here, you can view pictures as a slideshow and buy those you like.

Here's the link to the New Zealand SmugMug page.

Also, you can check out the detailed itinerary for each day on the Walkabout New Zealand website.

Glacier Views



Yesterday (Thursday) we got an early start and hiked up to a vista of the Fox glacier at sunrise. We then drove to Wanaka, which took us past stunning lake views. Once we arrived in Wanaka, we drove to the end of a long dusty road and hiked up a steep gulch to the base of another series of mountains with huge snow formations. After the hike, we drove to Queenstown and feasted on the world-famous Fergburgers. Pictures to come!

Today we will go canyoneering.
