Day 2 Getting Comfortable

13 April 2014

My main challenge today was locating all the ingredients for the days meals, guess it just shows how important it is to organise ones own kitchen. 

The adventure continues with planning today's route, I have elected to stay at the hut when the others head off after lunch and explore a couple of nearby hills.

Breakfast was a lazy porridge, cereal, toast and fruit - easy on the cook. 

Lunch was gourmet wraps with home made hummus and guacamole, falafel and fillings. 

While the guests and kids headed off with Karen and Paul, I did a couple of reasonable hill climbs, practicing some new photography techniques, courtesy of Pete.

For tonight's dinner I made my Chow Mein recipe, with a few modifications; zucchini instead of beans, rice noodles instead of egg noodles. Just a few of the challenges of trek cooking - choosing foods which travel well and catering to special diets. By all accounts the meal was a hit, I think Paul had 4 bowls!


Feeling Relaxed


Pete has put together photos and video of the trek, and played them to the group. 

Such stunning images, think I will have to do one of his photography workshops. Thanks for all the tips so far....... I will certainly be all ears on the upcoming photographic Trek in May!

  1. Speaking of organizing one's own camping kitchen, Larry and I are starting to build the kitchen for our camper trailer tomorrow. It's taking weeks of planning and research - I just hope it actually works for us. Stay tuned for photos....
