After spending a week or so with Marie she headed back to Dunedin and I continued on my own, having picked up a hire car in Queenstown.
I drove to Glenorchy then headed for Lake Sylvan where there was a short walk through beech forest. I then continued on to the Routeburn track car park from where I walked as far as the Routeburn Hut before heading back.

again . . .
and again
If you didn't have a shower this morning . . .
now is your chance
Beech forest and ferns
Route Burn flats
and huts . . .
just in case you weren't sure
Yes, that's our route . . .
and here's our view from the bridge
Glad we're not going that way . . .
just don't have the right gear
I think we're on the right track
Looking over Lake Wakatipu on return journey . . .
