Last week I was off walking the Milford Track - a 33.5 mile/54 km hike in the Fiordland National Park. We did it with friends but were the only four NZers in a group of 50 dominated by Americans (in numbers with 30 from different parts of the USA). Also Canadians, Australians, Korean, Dutch and English so it was a wonderful multicultural group. We did the walk in a guided fashion with food provided and lodge accommodation rather than huts. Some people say it is the best walk in the world - it’s very famous - and it was stunning! We did a side walk to the Sutherland Falls, 5th highest waterfall in the world.

It was a lot of fun, hard walking at times especially on the downhill and I highly recommend it. We got a range of weather and managed a cold water swim but a spot of rain meant the waterfalls were raging.
