queenstown

our first morning in queenstown, we chose to do a bit of tramping. we picked up sandwiches in glenorchy, and drove to the start of the routeburn track. we had originally thought about doing the whole routeburn track, but i was worried about doing it that time of year due to avalanches & high water. we ended up not reserving a spot in the huts along the way, which was a very good thing, because the middle of it was closed due to avalanches. we wouldn't have been able to do it anyway. so, we hiked in for the first two hours, to the first hut location, ate lunch, and then hiked back. a great day hike.
