It's three days as
we came from Nelson city to the camping of National Park Nelson Lakes
and after great time now we're driving back to the city in order to
take north-west direction to the Golden Bay tomorrow.
At the stops
We arrived to
National Park at midday at 18/12 and it was late (thanks God!) to go
to the great hiking route to Angels Hut, about 2000 m high because of late — it takes about 6 hours to get there. It's just a hut like
roof for sleep with no facilities and rain water to drink.
The cool woman help us with all the stuff.
We booked a
places in the hut for 18/19 night, enter a campsite with a hot shower
and went for the shot (if I knew what they call «short»!) route —
to the st. Arnaud stones, about 1600 m. That was really challenge for
me to go more than 3 hours strictly up and up without any plane
space. The area was like jungles we met before at Taranaki and also
amazing therefore first time I took a shots, but with a time it's
became more difficult. It was difficult to go and moreover to take a
photo shots.
But when we reached the top I had no doubts that this sight is worst to live.

We had some time
to rest and take a shots, and also I was taking my time laying in the
grass (it's so soft). Then we had our way to back to the campsite. It
took 2 hours and wasn't too hard.
When we gone down
to the camping we reached a great sunset.
At the morning I
took a shower, dried my hair in the hand dryer at the toilet (it was
the best hair I've ever done, it's seems because of good water) and
during we were having the breakfast I took a decision not to go 2000
m up again and stay in the camp till tomorrow midday — to take a
sun and have a short track around the local jungles. Dima made
re-packing all the staff in his packer because he has to gone alone and gone, left me for
the day and night in a camping with a tent. It was good time for me
to sleep more, have a sun-taking hours, reading and walking easy rout
about the lake.
I was talking with
2 guys from USA at the jungle bench today when I felt that it's time
to return to the camp and inner voice was right — Dima returned and took Jeremy
with him. He said it's really good I didn't go, because hiking was really really hard. He thought he almost died.
Now we are tree
going back to Nelson to stay for the night and then go the next
point.
Jeremy is from
France and having his sabbatical, travelling amazing countries — he has already been
to Iceland (Sept), Scotland (Oct) and New Zealand for 2 months.
I was trying to
describe to him our russian phrase about horse («конь в
пальто») that we met here in New Zealand.... just laughing for
hour about «horse in the coat» or «horse in the jacket». Need to
take a photo with horse :)
Some photos from the Nelson Lake National Park. I bought the badge with the kiwi sign:
You pay for your stay in National Park per person (+ your campervan, car, tent).
You should put ticket around the tent, coins are for the hot shower, it cost 1 NZD, really hot
(hello to Alisa, are you remembering the hot guy from Barcelona?).
50 cents
