Tramping - Kiwi for hiking

Just got back yesterday from four days of backpacking (or as the kiwis say tramping) through the Waikaremoana Great Walk. The first day was straight up the tall bluff over-looking Waikaremoana Lake which was a tough climb, but well worth the view. The next day was a long walk but one of the nice things about the Great Walks in NZ is that the have pretty well stocked huts that you can stay at each night. Pretty plush to get a mattress to sleep on! The next day the rain set in which was not so much fun, but authentically kiwi.

Can't write too much now because I'm in Naiper and going to try to catch an Art Deco architectural walk in a few minutes. More later.
