Finishing the week strong, we did a big hike up to Sunrise Hut. I learned that apparently NZ has about 950 of these huts all across both islands. We had a super early start waking up at 6:45am!! That is a first for this trip. But it was such a blast hiking 3 hours up, eating lunch at the top and two hours down.
While Whit and Scott were walking up, they collected all sorts of NZ fauna.
Here is evidence we made it to the top!
The view from the top.
On the hike down, we found a spring and made a little damn for the sheep to drink from.
As we were driving from the mountain, coming around a corner we became sheep herders!
At the end of the adventurous hike, we went to the Campbell's to have a birthday party for Rosie.
Spending time with the Campbell's all week proved to be a definite highlight. We connected with their family like butter on bread.
