Send us a textBlissful Hiker discovers that having her ego tweaked just a little by a braggart can be a good thing, because it helps her decide what matters and what doesn't. In this episode:The day starts with a rainbow, feathery falls and then a steep climb into the stunning Richmond Range on New Zealand's long walk, the Te Araroa. At Slaty Hut, she meets a young thru-hiker who brags about his speed, his distance and his light gear much to her annoyance. She "interviews" him and discovers he's actually a nice guy, hiking his own hike. It's steep up Little Rintoul, though she realizes it's only the first climb of the day as the real, and higher Rintoul is an eroding, scree-field of a trail.Rather than take John's bragging as "fighting words" she continues to hike her hike, taking the time to enjoy the view, air and sunshine from the summits. MUSIC: MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala and Suite Argentina by Horacio Salgan as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, pianoSupport the show
