New Zealand Trip 2023 Day 18 Part 2 ~ Routeburn Track - Routeburn Nature Walk, The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp

on

Since it was still early and we had lots of time, we decided to check out some short walks around Routeburn Track. 
Only to regret it later as we ended up taking the first part of the intended track for the next day and the drive was annoying with unpaved roads.







We planned to take the Routeburn Nature Walk, but it actually is the same route as the start of the Routeburn Falls Hut route that we were about to do the following day.



Not dressed to hike so just the nature walk which is flat.







Really missed the clean air, clear water, awesome weather, and the lack of crowd lol.










Was wondering what that is, if that is the Falls Hut but felt a little too near to the start of the trail. 









Decided to turn back here and continue the following day.


Came back to the The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp for dinner.


Having some drinks while waiting for dinner to be ready.






Finally dinner is served! I think it was some Braised Beef Cheeks, with Eggplant Parmigiana, Roasted Veg and mushrooms.







To be honest, it felt like there wasn't enough food to go around.


Ended the meal with chocolate cake with ice cream.


And I think after this, my throat started getting dry and itchy. 







Back to the room to rest and relax for the hike the next day!
