Finita La ComediaAs hard as it is to believe, we’ve actually made it to our final destination today — Queenstown! In light of these wonderful circumstances, I’ve wanted to share some interesting statistics about the trip so far:
The longest night I’ve ever hadAs i’m writing this on my phone, i’m sitting in LAX airport getting ready to blow up my mattress and go to sleep for the night here. It has been one very, very long night and it’s still not over. But let me start from the beginning.

Last Push of the Pedals!It’s ironic that the last day was probably the hardest. We only had a short distance to bike today (around 70km), but we had to ascend to the highest mountain road in NZ in the meantime.

Go through the Gates of Haast, Do Not Collect $200The only thing worse than going to sleep wet and cold is waking up in the morning wet and cold. Especially when you know that you have a tough day ahead of you…

From now on, I’m planning things out in advance!In the past, for every trip I took, I tended to plan things out. This time around, we wanted to play things out by the ear and see how it pans out.
Hiking in Arthur’s Pass National ParkIts so strange to write about tbe last few days because things have actually gone smoothly for once! It’s just plain unusual not to be stranded somewhere or break something or run out of something.
January 4th UpdateHey everyone,Just wanted to mention that we’re leaving for a multi-day hike today and then will be moving forward, so I may not have internet access for another 5 or so days.
