Saturday, March 24: Wanaka

The antibiotics didn't seem to work yet. The caugh got worse. First thing on the menu was to get a caughing syrum.

We headed for Rob Roy track around noon. This is a 3 hour track to the one of the mountains around the lake that has snow on top. I figured I'd surprise the group and so I got one those tasty bread loafs for the trail, which was exposed at the the very end. Great success...
On the trail we met a few more Israelis - Oren (some friend of Zion apparently), Jennie (travles along with Oren for a while), and the guy from my unit. Apparently they sort of stay at our backpacker.

The track lead us to a very nice view point of the snow, however it ended short of the peak (I'd say about 1 hour short). Beyond that poit there was no marked trail. Of course, I figured why stop there. At which point the group split. Arik, Simca and Noa headed back, Zion and I headed up. We didn't go all the way to the top as it was going to be dark and we didn't have headlights. Bummer...

Strangely, we met Udi again at the backpacker. It seems that he is traveling along with Oren and Jennie and that he met them at the Hiburim place after we had called on Friday.
