Pitching a Tent in the Wilderness of the Southern Alps
<p><em>The noise of the flowing river is the only constant sound reaching my ears. Now and then some birds are chirping in the trees behind our tent but they become silent soon. The cries of the seagulls stopped with the setting sun and so did the rain.</em></p>
<p>While I had been dreaming of exploring New Zealand for a few years now, the kind of exploring I wanted to do in the country required us to get some additional equipment.</p>
<p>We’ve done many multiple-day hikes in Europe already, but we’ve never had to carry our bed with us as we stayed in huts which provided all that. While there are plenty of huts in New Zealand, they have nothing to do with the luxurious mountain huts you can stay in the Alps.</p>
