I went out for another walk, this time I walked from a town about fifteen minutes away, Johnsonville, up into the hills and over to Mt. Kaukau again. This time I went 4.5 miles. I had a walking stick and thank God I did because I made the mistake of trying a less used path and it turned into a very steep and slippery downhill trek. I needed all the help I could get.
Here are some pics:
Good Lord, more steps.
Saw some rabbits. As Matt noted, that is not a good thing. The people of New Zealand spend and enormous amount of money trying to keep the rabbit population down. There are no predators here so these guys are free to propagate fairly easily if they want. And they are rabbits so they do want…
This picture looks back at the track I have been walking. You can see it along the ridge line.
The view from Mt. Kaukau once again. It was a gorgeous day.
From here I headed back to Khandallah by a different path. The signage was not great and I ended up on a rarely used trail. Thank goodness for Google. It found me and showed me how to get back on the main route. Overall it took about two hours door to door.
