For spring break, we took a 4-day backpack around Lake Waikaremoana, one of New Zealand's Great Walks.
Mike and I travelled with the Sutherlands, 7 teenage boys (3 of them our sons), and Mercy. What a pleasure!
Photos don't capture the richness and variety in the old-growth forests, trees that were a thousand years old and heavy with burls and epiphytes. Giant ferns. Rata vines.
The lake was always on our right hand.

Sue taught us the names of all the trees.
