Our next adventure...the Routeburn Track

It's time to leave the farm. Corey is baking chocolate muffins downstairs and my mouth is watering from the heavenly smell! We are stocking up on homemade muffins and banana bread for our next tramp...the Routeburn Track. Tomorrow we'll make our way to Queenstown, where we'll stay for 2 nights before embarking on a 3 hour bus ride to the start of the track.

Unlike the Milford Track, which can only be walked in 1 direction during the peak season, you can start the Routeburn at Queenstown and walk to The Divide (which is what most people do), or as we are planning....bus to The Divide and hike back to Queenstown, where we're leaving our car.

Click here for the day-to-day description of the track.

Hope all is going well for those back home. I hear the folks in Minnesota have an inch of snow on the ground and Portland might see some white already this early in the winter!
