Mt. Somer track


Possum

Well we thought it would be nice to start tramping in New Zealand with a short track and easy.... Well it was short but not so easy!
The first day was really nice after the couple, we had spent a night in their place, has dropped us in the starting point just after we left our car at the finishing point. We walked up hill for 3 hours but it was really beautiful. On the track there are mining stories so it was nice. We slept in a small old hut that suits 6 people. In the next room there were 3 working man that were building the new hut just next to us. They have put a Possum trap just next to their door and in the photo you can see that they were lucky. On the 2nd day we walked for 3 hours and slept for 1 hour more and than because it was still early (2pm) we finished the track (4 more hours)
At the end we were tired but happy because we had a nice warm place to spend the night in!
