So yesterday I took the bus ๐ to Maharau again, which is the starting point of Able Tasman. It was the same as the day before yesterday, taking the water taxi two beaches further and walking from there to the beach from the previous day. It was about 14 km again... and with the anticipation of having the whole day ahead of me and finally being able to relax in the sun, the path was fantastic again, even more beautiful than the day before. I can't describe how I feel when walking through this fantastic bush-like landscape, with the hobbits in my head ๐๐...
The boat ride wasn't as spectacular as the previous day and I was glad I finally filmed my dolphins ๐ฌ properly .... because there were none in the morning ๐ฉ....
Well, we continued through beautiful landscapes, up and down the mountains, past the beautiful beaches with yellow fine powdery sand... to the swing bridge... a bridge that crosses a river... back into the enchanted forest and onwards to the beautiful beaches... further to Cleopatra's Pool... a river with a large round pool with a huge rock in the middle... where plenty of people were cavorting... continuing on the way to the last beach... where I wanted to lie down, but when I arrived, the beach was completely crowded... hikers or kayakers... and the clouds covered the sun, telling me... today is not the day to get a tan... so only the body parts that were already used to the sun โ๏ธ saw it, at 4:30 pm the water taxi arrived, I got the last seat, the sea was rough and the water taxi crashed onto the waves ๐, which made me look like a wet dog in the end... and the wind was strong and cold... and I was glad that I had taken all my beautiful pictures the day before... ๐๐๐...
And this morning, I continued... packing everything up again, feeling that my backpack ๐ is getting heavier, but I had to walk the 3 km, arrived in the town, I made my remaining bookings for the bus rides and the accommodations... and now I'm sitting in a cafe, writing and waiting for it to be 4:30 pm when the bus comes, but everything is planned, which makes my head feel lighter again, my next destination is Golden Bay, even though I'm already there, but now I'm going to see the uppermost tip of the South Island, hoping that there will be a few more days at the beach, then it's time for more bus rides and only one night each... then another 3 nights on the east coast and four in Christchurch, also on the east coast... and then it's back to cold Germany... I'm already freezing just thinking about it... ๐ฉ
So, tonight there will be some pictures ๐
