Enchanted forest.
Monkey face.
The first few days of the track look like this...
...until the track spills out into a Hawaiian-esque paradise. Its not a total paradise though, because at dawn and dusk you get swamped by blood-sucking sand flies. The ocean is quite ferocious here on the western coast, as opposed to the gentle waters of the east coast.
The Heaphy track was a 5 day, one way trip, so to get back north, I took this plane (as opposed to a two-day bus trip that would have cost twice as much).
A group of typical sheep on a typical piece of farmland.
A marshmallow field.
Private farmland opening up to ocean near the very tip of the south island.
Same location.
2 Hawaiians, a Canadian, a Frenchman, and an Austrian. I ended up hitching around with these guys for a few days after the Heaphy track.
