"Pretty Sweet, Eh?"

"How a'boot some more wine?"
"Absolutely... thanks man," I say as I float my titanium backpacking bowl over to Dan the Cannuck.

Sitting in a hotspring with Dan, Niko the German Junior Weight Lifting Champ, and Terri the American DOC Hut Warden... darkness falls and with it, the sandflies disappear for the evening.

It's raining, but the light of the full moon is bright enough to penetrate the cloud cover. Sipping the red wine that Dan lugged 10miles up the Copland Track, I enjoy one of the best finishes to a day that I've spent in New Zealand.
