Another ski tour to Feldberg leaving from the Stollenbacher Hütte. Unlike last weekend, this time, we intended to end up there. It was Leonie, Jutta and her boyfriend Elmar, and I.

I did the same trip about a year ago.
As it’s supposed to be winter here I headed out with Waltraud and Basti for a ski tour. After getting lost in fog we ended up at the top of Feldberg. The weather was a bit nasty; very low visibility, cold, and windy.

Above: The first tour of the season.
Above: The last time I was on Feldberg it looked somewhat different. Here Julian and I have just finished running up Feldberg from Freiburg.
Due to my major flight stuff up I ended up spending an extra day in NZ and then flying through Melbourne. The ordeal cost me $1000 NZD. Quite reasonable you might not think.
I made use of the 15 hours I had in Melbourne and went and visited Karen in St Kilda. We spent the day lazing at the beach in the 36 degree heat.

As I was supposed to be leaving tomorrow I had a bit of a catch up with some friends who weren’t already away on holiday somewhere. There were copious amounts of yummy sugary things.

Of course, seeing has I can’t read it wasn’t actually my last night and instead I spent another day in NZ, paying a mere $1000 for the privilege. Ughh.
Katie and I went through Cave Stream on our way back from Kennedy Lodge. A little mission through Cave Stream is always nice. It takes about 30 minutes to do.
Above left: The walk from the carpark down to the cave entrance takes about 5 minutes . Above right: Katie in Cave Stream.
Above left: Although a brighter light might be better it’s still enough to walk enter the cave with a little light like this one attached to my head. Above right: At the exit.
Above: There was a deep pool near the entrance to the cave.
