Milford Track

After getting back in Te Anau, I went for lunch and received a call from Quentin and Mélanie saying they had booked for the next day a departure on Milford Track.
I was a bit skeptical because my legs were hurting. The first day on Kepler Track was very demanding, 32km and 1600 meters of climbing overall, and had an impact on my poor legs.
In the end, after checking the weather, and because I wanted to continue walking with people I knew, I booked also for the next day.





The first day was 22km long and only a few hundred meters of climbing. But it was still hard on my legs.



The second day was the hardest, 15km, 600 meters climbing up and 1000 meters climbing down.
That was like forever for my knees. But the the weather and the view were awesome.











The third day, I decided to have some rest despite the good weather.
On the fourth and final day, I started walking at 6.30 in order to be on time for the ferry at the end of the track. And unfortunately, it was raining all day.
Quentin and Mélanie did not wait for me so I was able to get some pictures of the last day with some sun.
