Arthur's Pass to Franz Josef, New Zealand

 I camped at this lake. Beauuuutiful.

 Morning hike & painting in Arthur's Pass.

Then I ventured to the West Coast to Franz Josef Glacier and took a heli-hike.

 

 I'm in a helicopter!!

 

We have arrived.

 

 

 3 hours of trekking through gorgeous ice.

 

Peace out, glaciers! On to Queenstown & Fiorland.

Hong Kong, part 3: Tung Chung to Tai O

We took a 9 mile hike along the coast of Lantau Island from Tung Chung to Tai O, a small village built on stilts.

ngong ping 360. we decided to save the 140+ hk dollars & hike instead

the ideal work station

chinese 'pizza'

Mmmm... there's something magical about floating villages

Hiking Adventures on a Bridge to Nowhere

that was nowhere to be found.

We searched through the flowers and brush

in the river, so cold and fierce

up and down the rocky mountains & twisting trails. Still nowhere to be found.

Tired, weary & running low on Hawaiian sweet bread, we stopped to find a place to rest. Lo & behold, a fort underneath the trees! How appropriate for the treehouse-fort duo.

Bridge or no bridge, it sure was swell! Icing on the cake was the musical geek out session on the 210 hwy.
