Hiking
Our Experiences
Australia (Tasmania, NYE in Sydney, Great Barrier Reef, & Blue Mountains)
The theme in Australia was hiking and nature, so that’s how Tasmania and Blue Mountains got on the itinerary. We went Snorkeling/diving in the Great Barrier Reef too because who knows how long it’ll be around? We watched NYE fireworks in Sydney because how often are we in Australia, and for that matter during NYE? It was a packed agenda with lots of flying, and boat rides!

Our Experiences
Milford Track, New Zealand
Milford Track is a 5 day 4 night 33.5 mile hiking excursion, although the only real hiking was done in the middle 3 days. First and last days were transportation to/from the hike, including boat rides! We did this trek via a guided tour with Ultimate Hikes, which provided transportation, guides, and very luxurious food and lodging for being in the middle of nowhere.

Peru: Part 2 (The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu)
Part 2 of our Peru post is mostly about the Inca Trail, or 4 days and 3 nights of what we’d both describe as one of the hardest hikes we’ve done so far in our lives. The payoff of this journey would be a visit to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu.

Peru: Part 1 (Lima & Cusco)
Peru was such a last minute trip. Our main purpose of visiting was to see the famous Machu Picchu, but this first part of the post covers our time in Lima where we ate at fancy restaurants and our time in Cusco where we acclimated to high elevations and visited religious sites. And alpacas! Really cute alpacas.

W Trek – Torres del Paine, Patagonia
To see Torres del Paine is to see what beauty our earth has to offer at the edge of civilization. Aside from the views is the experience itself, a 50 mile hike over 5 days/4 nights. I left it not only with some nice pictures but also a gratifying sense of accomplishment.
