Another fun event filled day- Tibor did an all day hike to the top of Mt. Honey. I kayaked in the morning and went on the Col Lyell boardwalk hike.
The kayak was about 6 kilometers and we were out on the water about 3 hours.
Tibor’s hike was about 10 kilometers and he was out about 9 hours and had to take a lunch and poo bag with him. He hiked to the top of Mt. Honey- the highest point in the southern ocean. There were about 18 people in the group.
The Col Lyell boardwalk hike was about 5 miles. It was about 2 hours up with 700 feet of elevation gain on the way up and 1 1/2 hours and 700 feet of elevation drop on the way back. It was very windy at the top- it would have blown me over if I was a small person. There was a little rain squall on the way up and a few drops of rain on the way back but otherwise quite pleasant. I had to remove 3 layers of clothes since I thought it would be very cool and rainy.
Before dinner the ship cruised past Bull Rock where there is a colony of 27,000 Campbell Island Albatross nesting. Amazing- looked like the hill was frosted with snow.
