After 4 days in the bush I am back.
Yes I went 4 days without a shower. Despite the cold I smelt that bad that I had to keep the window of my car open on the 4hr drive home today (despite a clean set of clothes I had waiting for me). I must have smelt like a yeti.
I met a bunch of great people on the hike so I’m not going to give too many details about it in order to keep peoples privacy (mainly mine). But here are some photos from the trip (the beach to start with, then the glaciers which created the valleys and finally the hot springs).
You guys can’t believe how much I’m looking forward to a pillow and an electric blanket!!!! I’ve had one shower since I got home (about 6pm) and I’m going to have another one I promise you. I didn’t eat very much at all while I was camping out (I had stacks of food but it was just too much effort to cook since I was sleeping in a tent). And oddly enuf I was starving when I got home tonight and a neighbour invited me over for dinner and I couldn’t even eat all of it – must be my stomach shrinking.
Thanks for all the comments on my last post – it was wonderful to get back from a couple of days offline and know that somebody cares – thanks guys.

Beautiful country
Pretty… might actually have to leave the North Island one day!
Mark,
You definitely should mate – the south island rocks!!!
The north island is pretty nice too – I love the Taupo area and the Bay of Islands has perhaps the best beaches in the world (I honestly didn’t think that anything could beat the Aussie beaches that I grew up on but those beaches are beautiful.
