Time has flown and soon so will have I, to Phoenix then San Francisco then across the vast expanse that is the Pacific ocean. I'll land in Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand, where I will take a breath and dive into another plane headed for Christchurch, the largest city on New Zealand's South island.
From there I will be at a hostel for a couple nights where hopefully I will recuperate from my travels in time for my arrival at the Palmers', the location of my first stay as a willing worker on an organic farm (WWOOFer). The map below shows my expected route. I was thinking about walking the whole thing, but at a predicted walking time of about 22 days, I am having second thoughts.

You should walk the whole thing. Not something many people can do, and you'd see a lot more detail.
ReplyDeletesorry friend, but it isn't going to happen. i went hiking this paste weekend, and these mountains make for tough going. i'd rather sit comfortably in a bus watching the scenery pass, most of the time anyway.
ReplyDeleteUnderstandable. I recall the initial ambition, and then the sour reality, of long hikes.
