Sunday, April 8: Queenstown - Routeburn Day 1

After a (great) week in Queenstown , I've finally left. At 12 noon Ben and I had a shuttle to the beginning of the Routeburn track. Right before leaving I made sure to have a video of Rachel (the British girl who has been dong dinner with us the last few days). She is hilariously funny in the way she speaks with her funny British accent.
Anyway, since Routeburn is not a circular track, and since Nir and Nadav plan to do the Kepler, I left the car in Queenstown, and we decided to hook up in Te Anau. More precisely, in a place called "The Divide", which is 86km north of Te Anau and to where Nir and Nadav are supposed to drive my car. The plan is to meet at 15:00 on Tuesday the 10th of April.

We started the Routeburn at 14:00. As usual, last to start and last to arrive. It's tradition now. The first day was mostly going up for about 10km (I forget the exact figure). Wasn't too bad.


We arrived at Falls Hut, where there were several families. Easter...
We ended up playing Yaniv with 6 kids (ages 15-18). Ben (Aka "the snake") won. Oh well, at least Israeli honor was preserved.
