Stewart Island North West Circuit

Hey Dudes,

Here are my pictures from the Stewie Island track, like I promised.

A typical New Zealand mobile phone

A small Island on the Track. I really want to swim there, but here are no lifeguards.

At the first Hut without the Austrian Guy who took the wrong turn and went to another hut. At the next morning the Ranger want me to go back and meet up the National Park Main Officer to clear if we are fit and have experience in hiking and bushwalking. Just because of these austrians : (  like in history :)

At the "second" first hut. This time with Stefan (Austrian).

The Austrian Guy (right) and a cool South African - New Zealander doing some fighting sports on the lawn in front of the hut.

Thx to Lara her friend and Warren for the delicious Sea Snails : ) called Cat eye's

The snails after cooking them and popping them out of their house. yammi (not really, maybe I have them again in emergency, otherwise not )

A nice swinging Bridge over a Creek, not the last one.

I'm at Maori Beach with sunshine and a lot of sandflies

Another Bridge in the bush

One of uncountable beautyfull bay's

A strange Toast coming out of Stefans backpack. Thats my typical breakfast since I arrived in New Zealand.

Nice view to the hinterland of Stewart Island

walking on coastal sand dunes

Hmmm Oats, without anything, tastes like water just thickend. The last Day's we are running out of food : )

A small mud-pool on the track, here you can easily go around. On other sections you have to go through.

At a small sand dunes at about 350 meters above sealevel

Westcoast Sunset at the Big Hellfire Hut.

So that was the first Hiking track, tomorrow starts the second. Hopefully as good and lucky as this one, because we got just sunshine and that ist really untypical in New Zealand and even more on stewart Island.
