I ate toasted sandwich and pie with chicken, and took a ticket from DOC and left small bag at the hostel. The ticket is obtained only the day before and on the day. I can get the ticket for Milford track tomorrow. The entire Kepler track is too long for 2 days, and I took a shortcut on the start and the end. I took Kepler water taxi to go Brod Bay.
I met few people in the water taxi, and a lady from Seattle accompanied with me to luxmore hut. It is about four hours walk and steady up hill, but the most of sections are shaded.
The trail fo Luxmore hut
Soon, we got to the luxmore hut, and explored the near areas. The luxmore cave is just 10 minutes walk from the hut. We continue to Mt. Luxmore.
From here, we say goodbye, and I continue my way to iris burn hut. This section is completely exposed, and provides spectacular view in few places.
The waterfall is 20 minutes from the hut, and it is worth to visit. Be careful with sandflies.
