Reintegration into the NZ bush!

So after being in the country for about 48 hours we headed bush to reaquanit ourselves with what we had been missing for the last 2 years, the kiwi bush.

Sweaty us after 2 days in the Tararuas, good old winter mud and cloud and cold!
That thing on the hill behind Dave is a cow!
NZ tramping doesn't always involve cows, but this one does thanks to the farmer permitting access.
Washing up!

Gorgeous rain forest.
