I'm traveling through New Zealand for 3 months alone. I'll be on both the North Island, and South Island. And plan to post here when I can.

Small Update

Hello! I'm in a place called Franz Josef Glacier right now. We are on our way down to Wanaka. Finished Able Tasmin, and it was amazing! The raw natural beauty was unbelievable. It was a 4 day tramp along the coast, and I've never seen beaches like it before. Golden sand with the most amazingly blue waters ever. Zach and I swam every chance we got. It was similar to Olympia but really warm and more tropical, and more crowded. Much more crowded than the Heaphy was, on the Heaphy I saw a total of maybe 15 different people, here there was people all over. But the environment made up for that. Again, I'll have to post pictures later, Zach's friend Felix joined us on the tamp and had a camra, we had to split up after how ever, since it's hard to hitch with 3 people. So once we meet up again, I can post pictures. Still waiting on the Heaphy photos as well. Any way Zach and I have been hitching down the west coast of the south island the past few days, staying in this guys Kayak shop and on a rugby feild. Also ate the best fish and chips the world has ever seen. Any way the west coast is amazing. You have the crazy rough tasmin sea on the right, with huge waves and sea stacks, and on the left is gigantic peaks with jungle hills. We're just now entering the Souther Alps near Mount Cook, and after the internet runs out, going to go look at some glaciers, and then find some hot pools to sit in.

TALK TO YOU SOON
