From the mountains to the sea
Finally back to the sound of the sea

Honestly, not much has happened. So I woke up at Colac Bay by the sea to the sunrise. Shortly after, it rained buckets. I then drove on through Riverton. I had a nice phone call and then headed to Invercargill. You know, cities can be cool, but nature is always better, so there I faced another frustrating parking situation while shopping, where I could at least park, and then it was a quick stop at the post office and bank, I had some errands to run. So don't get me wrong, of course, you can park there, but then you have to pay, and no, either I park for free or not at all. I then drove to Bluff to Stirling Point, and my gosh, that little town was so cute. Not much there, but colorful, and there’s so much graffiti art on many walls. Somehow, it had a sweet vibe. I was then at the Bluff lookout, and damn, on a good day, you could probably see for ages, but the views were still impressive, and the thought of being right down on the South Island was crazy. After I nearly got blown away because it was so windy, I drove back towards Invercargill. I stopped by the swimming pool to shower, which was much needed. So I’m really looking forward to my own shower at home. After the city had nothing else that I absolutely wanted to see, I headed to Winton for the night. And that is also a sweet little town. Winton is a small rural town in Southland, New Zealand, with charming historical flair. Today I first went to the library to load some stuff and had to do a bit of organizing and create my first New Zealand vlog. Next stop is the West Coast, I’ll check in when I get there :)
