After a sweaty 1500 meter approach climb I’m staying overnight at the lovely Bushline hut in the Travers-Sabine circuit of the Nelson lakes national park. Tomorrow I’ll head off to the remote lake Angelus along the Mt. Roberts ridgeline if the weather is good.
My dinner tonight is Backcountry Cuisine’s Thai Chicken Curry. These dehydrated meals can be surprisingly tasty if you just let them stand for a while. Stay away from their Cooked Breakfast though. Adding boiling water to egg powder and freeze dried bacon just doesn’t work.

There are new entries for the cities I visited in December on my round the world trip:
I’ll out in the bush hiking and cycling most of the January, 2006. The best way to reach me is via e-mail.
