1) Jaw dropping!

2) I'm so glad you had the presence of mind to turn the camera around and snap a self-portrait at the top of your epic solo journey!

3) Your description was quite the page-turner! I hung on every word.

4) QUOTE: They drive on the left side of the road, the have no IDEA what American football is all about and they USE the METRIC SYSTEM... . ...from what I was told, I was suppose to always keep to the left. UNQUOTE

Maybe "left" means "right" down under!!!

Thanks for posting.

Glad to see the hammock served you well on your trip and I am now jealous of my hammock, can you actually be that........yes, yes I can!!!!!!! It has now been to one of the places that I truely wish to visit. I can see now that I will one day have to go and experience this beautiful and majestic part of the world.........

Been there myself but did not get to go to the hills for any overnights......consider yourself very fortunate.
Very nice briefing.

Thanks for the trip report! It sounds like you made good choices faced with your circumstances. NZ is on my bucket list.
