Queen Charlotte Track

The Queen Charlotte Track.... a blissful few days can be had tramping alongside the sounds away from any traffic... having your bags picked up every morning by water taxi and dropped off that afternoon at your accomodation... wonderful hostels.... azure waters.... the chance to kayak the calm waters.... soaking in a hot spa pool at the end of the day... sigh.

We shared part of the tramp with an English couple we met called Charlie and Rob (see photo) who stopped off in Wellington for the night a few weeks later on their way up north and shared with us good company and lovely chocolates!
