Daniela is writting her 'tagebuch' (diary), so do I with my digital version.
Once we got to the south islands we had some strong rain. We used again the tarp to be able to 'expand' ourselves out of the limits of the van. We had one day of nothing to do, which is sometimes also nice, especially after several days in Wellington.
We were impressed by the grandiose sounds (fjords,fiordos) from the region. To make an idea, here 50km in straight line contain about 340km of coast.
We wanted to train ourselves a bit with the backpacks fully loaded, so we did the Nydia track, for which we had to pack the tent and all the cooking gear. On the way to the camp we visited "pipi beach", in which we could find more sea-stars than actual 'pipi's (Shelves). But we stayed alone... The water temperature of the sea is already Spanish forbidding, but I managed to do a quick jump in/out to refresh since the sun was really strong. The views from the track were also really nice, and we had several fan-tails following us. It is the bird that you see in the picture with the palm tree. Really curious birds!
As you can see in the pics, there were some obstacles in the middle of the path. Looked like it is not very famous, and we had to jump over and under numerous trees which were completely crossed to us.
From there we drove towards Nelson, the bigger city in the region.
Cheers! Till next update!
