We climbed through a blanket of low cloud to reach Roses Saddle. Sadly our views non-existant from the saddle but our descent through the cloud was mystical. The cloud had burnt off by the time we reached historical Macetown. After a hot but interesting walk through history, we made it to Arrowtown just in time for the most incredible ice cream from Patagonia. I think it was the best ice cream we have eaten in New Zealand.🍧🤤 Better yet, Patagonia also have a store in Queenstown. No guessing where you will find us tomorrow afternoon 😉.

Day 2 of the Motatapu Alpine Track and we still had stunning views back over Lake Wanaka. With plenty of climbing and descending the walking was slow going but the scenery was spectacular!
Day: 124, Km: 2,599
We reluctantly departed beautiful Wanaka and headed back out on trail. It was a slow, drawn out goodbye as the trail had us walking along the edge of the lake until lunch time when we headed up into the hills on the Motatapu Track.

We hired a set of wheels for the day and headed out to the spectacular Rob Roy Glacier. Taking some extra time off trail has meant we have been able to do a few side trails along our TA journey. Rob Roy Glacier was definitely worth the deviation.

When you are starting to wear through skin and shopping for new clothing becomes a necessity...🧦
I think the New Zealand is too tough for Injinji's, sadly this pair lasted less than 2 months.

Strolling into Wanaka along the lake. It was a cracker of a day, we walked via Albert Town and had an epic morning tea at Pembroke Patisserie where an obscene amount of pastries were consumed. We will be spending a few nights in Wanaka sightseeing, hiking and eating before heading back out of trail.

Early morning cloud on our way down to Lake Hawea. We were lucky enough to spot the most spectacular rainbow arching over the lake (*not pictured)🌈. We had a lazy 11km day spending the afternoon eating oversized icecreams at Lake Hawea Store🍦.

... everything the light touches is our kingdom...
Despite the clouds and drizzle we still had a lovely view from breast hill.

We passed the 2,500 km mark today, making our way over Martha Saddle en route to Top Timaru Hut. It was a beautiful days walking through active farmland where we encountered a friendly sheep and a group of impressive stag deer with huge antlers. 🦌
