Where the wild things are

With our stunt double in place and our van ready and waiting, we escaped the fast times and cool company of Dunedin's Valley Kids Crew. We still had more than half the island to see and were getting itchy feet. No really, Justin has foot fungus. Our refuge was by Kurow, the little house in the shire with Bally and Bianca. They perscribed the perfect remedy, a tramp up the Hopkins River above Lake Ohau, and some lavender-garlic infused oil for Justin's feet. 6 days in the woods should set us right, even if the weather wasn't looking bright and sunny.
