It was a short drive to Te Anau in
Fiordland, so we arrived in the afternoon. Together with 2 guys of the group we did a really nice hike, part of the
Keppler Track. First we had to take the watertaxi to the other side of the lake. It was going really fast and we were prepared for a wet landing. Since Nelson I know what that means (walking the last metres through the water). At the beach we learnt how to dry our wet feet, by rubbing it with sand. And to remove it with some tissue paper later. At the shower at the hotel I discovered my very dirty feet, but no problem at all with the sand between my toes.
The hike was 3 hours and the first two hours were dry and in a forest, really beautiful green. Then it started to rain (the second time I wore my jacket in 4 weeks!) and there was no protection from trees anymore, so we really got wet, but my jacket is great. I just rolled up my trousers, because a wet pant is worse than wet legs. We had a nice dinner, again an Italian restaurant, but this time I didn't have a pizza (they weren't even on the menu).
