The next three days we were up on the Routeburn Track, one of New Zealands great walks and boy does it deserve that distinction. It was awesome! The first day we had great summer weather and even jumped in the glacier fed lake that was near our hut. Then we climbed up on this ridge to get some views as we were told that some weather would be rolling in the next day.

It was Christmas Eve and our hut warden led carloling by candle light that night and baked all of us mini mince meat pies! We missed all of you, but it was a nice way to spend Christmas eve.
