    Wekas are like pesky chickens! Kayaking must be a weird transition: sitting all day using your upper body rather than walking and climbing all day. And stingray, come on. What a cool adventure.

      Exactly- just like pesky chickens. This was such a cool place, and my arms were definitely feeling it after two days!

    What a great side trail.
    The fresh mussles must have been great.
    And yes, you're on a bracht Vacation!
    Sorry about the little creature in your tent. Didn't catch what is was. I guess they have different animals/birds overthere!
    All the best! Kaat

    You and Quadzilla have provided me with a good collection of side quests for my TA hike. Please keep doing you, you lovely weird hiking folk.

    • @LaurenRoerick
      @LaurenRoerick  Před měsícem

      Glad you like them! (The side quests are better than a good portion of the trail, so definitely do some!)

    Ahh so you just decided to take a little side trip to one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Brilliant idea !!
    Oh those Wekas. One actually tried to steal my tent fly when I was drying it on the Queen Charlotte Track.

    • @LaurenRoerick
      @LaurenRoerick  Před měsícem

      Hahah it sure was beautiful! And those wekas sure are cheeky!

    Is it just me, but one of your hiking companions sometimes reminds me of a young Woody Harrelson.

    Most people say sting-ray, but I say stin-gray. I feel my pronunciation makes them less dangerous.

    Hi Lauren. How were the sandflies. Kayaked AT 1999. Savaged by them when the sun went down.

    • @LaurenRoerick
      @LaurenRoerick  Před měsícem

      Not bad honestly- they were around but not any more than usual

    ITS A POOPING TENT
    same as a regular tent, it just has poop in it. 😁

      It was so gross haha. Luckily there was some cleaning spray in the kitchen area 😅
