Glenorchy; Routeburn Track




Hello all, thanks for being patient with our posts. We still have limited access to the internet but should hopefully get hooked up this week at our new apartment. No one seems to be in any hurry here to get things done including the internet people.
The Routeburn track was one of our day hikes while in Queenstown. As you may have noticed from previous posts, Queenstown is on a lake and Glenorchy is the town located at the opposite side of the lake from the place we were staying so we decided to check it out. This was a fun day for us as you can see. If you look really hard at the waterfall picture you can see Charles, he was feeling a little "where's waldo" that day. For those of you who know Charles you can imagine he would take advantage of any opportunity to jump around rocks and see how high he can climb. This particular track didn't actually lead to the waterfall but someone, cough Charles, was determined to make their way to the water... and so we did.
I decided my time was better spent taking pictures of the monkey climbing along and to relax below and take in the scenery (wine may or may not have been involved I can't quite confirm).
