Yesterday I started with the Earnslaw Burn Track<\/a>, this is the view looking back not long after I started, Lake Wakatipu in the background<\/p><\/div>\n

The first park of the track is through forest, forest and some more forest<\/p><\/div>\n

But eventually the forest ends and I get my first view of the Earnslaw Glacier<\/p><\/div>\n

The track continues along the ice cold Earnslaw Burn<\/p><\/div>\n

Lots of small waterfalls<\/p><\/div>\n

That all end up in the Earnslaw Burn and eventually in Lake Wakatipu<\/p><\/div>\n

Getting closer<\/p><\/div>\n

And closer<\/p><\/div>\n

Almost there<\/p><\/div>\n

Yes, finally there, this was the closest I could get to the glacier<\/p><\/div>\n

I tried to get on the ice you see there but that wasn’t possible (without the right gear)<\/p><\/div>\n

Anyway, I made it, yay!<\/p><\/div>\n

Nice place to pitch the tent too<\/p><\/div>\n

I mean, that’s an awesome view isn’t it?<\/p><\/div>\n

Same view in the middle of the night, it was mighty cold though<\/p><\/div>\n

This morning<\/p><\/div>\n

And I’m on my way back out again<\/p><\/div>\n

Looking back<\/p><\/div>\n

And once more through the seemingly endless forest<\/p><\/div>\n

Almost at the car again<\/p><\/div>\n

And who is also at the car park!? Philip! I met him just a few days ago during another trip and by coincidence met him here again, which was very fortunate as he still had a yummie (Whittaker’s<\/a>) chocolate bar of mine in his fridge. Om nom nom!<\/p><\/div>\n

Map of the track, I continued way beyond where the red line stops though, almost to the glacier<\/p><\/div>\n

Lake Wakatipu, on the way back to Queenstown<\/p><\/div>\n

Coronet Peak<\/a>, where I made a flight with my paraglider a little later<\/p><\/div>\n
