Goodbye Oxygen, Hello Alps!

Ellen's time in New Zealand has come to an end and today I head into New Zealand's alpine zone to climb a few peaks and generally get away from my computer and the hustle and bustle of the tourist scene that permeates most of the country. Altitude shouldn't be much of a problem, as New Zealand's mountains aren't all that high. My lack of conditioning, on the other hand, is definitely cause for concern. But it should be fun nonetheless. See you in a week!
