The rain was getting heavier over night. I was awake for several times in the night and every time I thought that it sounded like the rain was not only outside. At about 2am two absolutely drunken guys came in and wanted to see what’s up in the hut. They smoked and drank in the […]
In the morning when we woke up the wind blew heavily. Even bigger branches fall of the trees. We thought it is best to move the breakfast into hut. The other two beside Selma already left early in the morning so there was plenty of space to have breakfast. Sadly it started to rain outside. […]
Today we wanted to start quite early to get to the next campsite which would have been one and a half day away. Unfortunately the early start did not happen. So we already knew that it is not very likely to make it to the campsite. We tried our best but the TA here is […]
We have started quite early in the morning (at least for us ?). It was 9.10am when we were hiking on the trail. The english couple and the danish girl already left before. But we have met Selma (the danish girl) one hour later in the forest filtering water at a stream. We joined her […]
It has been the second day in the Longwoodforest. But the landscape did change much more compared to yesterday. The trail gained a lot of altitude and we have passed several clearances to enjoy the sun and to dry our tent. In the morning we have passed the Martin’s hut where we actually wanted to […]

We imagined that the stream we needed to cross would be a little bit stronger but still it is better to have precaution. After the stream crossing,there were another 13km of beach left.

Next morning alarm at 4.50am already awake before. Flight to Queenstown. Buyed gas and doc hutpass. Hitchhiked with 3 nice rides […]
We had a long flight to Auckland after 12 hours in the plane we had a stopover in Taipei, Taiwan for a whole day. We haven’t had that much sleep on the first flight so we were really tired during our stay in Taipei. Still we got to see something on a half day free […]
