Into the bush

Wasted yesterday looking for a car to buy. There is one hopeful I found but the owners were off using it for a week back next weekend. I got a bit frustrated this morning and went out looking for something interesting to do. Many at the hostel were talking about the Queen Charlotte Trail (http://www.qctrack.co.nz/). Long story short, I'm booked on a boat to Ship Cove in the morning. 71km end to end. The boat company will shunt my pack between camping sites but the daily distance is very far so I'm not sure I'll make use of it. Also don't have to complete the trek, the boat stops 4 or 5 places and I can jump off at any of them. I have booked a night in the hostel for next Friday so will be back by then.  I'm sure I'll have more to say then, this is supposed to be just amazingly beautiful.
