  • Matteo and Sylvia: A nice new trekking, we were ready to go, Conillo was coming with us.

    Conillo: I decided to invite Matteo and Sylwia to do a trekking with me this weekend.

  • M. and S.: It would be easy to walk up the mountain on the trail, but we chose to leave it and climb up the Blue Creek Canyon.

    C.: I helped them to find the right way in the forest.

  • M. and S.: Climbing up along the Blue Creek.

    C.: I covered their back while they were climbing up the canyon: I felt the presence of dragons and monsters in this forest!

  • M. and S.: Where the vegetation was thick we put Connillo in the backpack to avoid him to get dirty for the umpteenth time.

    C.: I hide myself to take the enemy by surprise!

  • M. and S.: Climbing up.

    C.: The enjoy the climb completely unaware of the monsters around us!

  • M. and S.: It was plenty of nice New Zealand birds. This is a Robin.

    C.: The forest is full of Feathered Dragons (Latin name: Draconis Pennutus), Matteo and Sylwia seem not understanding the great danger! Fortunately I'm there!!

  • M. and S.: Stalactites in a cave.

    C.: Entrance of a Dragon's den!

    M. and S.: Along the Blue Creek to Mount Owen

  • M. and S.: We arrived at a pond that we couldn't cross. So we climbed up the side of the canyon to move around it. We ended very high from the bottom of the canyon.

    C.: The forests is full of enemies and Matteo and Sylwia got scared by a little pool... Sometimes I really don't understand them! But anyway, I couldn't let them alone in the jungle and followed their detour.

  • M. and S.: The short rope we had was long just enough to abseil down from tree to tree. In 4 passages we were in the canyon again.

    C.: That's nice! I love adventure!

    M. and S.: At a certain point the canyon got really narrow and impossible to climb up (interesting, to be explored with canyoning), so we moved around it for a few hundred meters. Then the valley opened and we walked in the forest.
