A little of the gorgeous scenery we passed on the way to the beach.
What great memories I have of New Zealand. And this was one of my favorite hikes while we were there. The owners of the inn we stayed at recommended this hike, Wharariki Beach to Cape Farewell, to us and I shall be ever grateful for that recommendation. ,
When we first arrived we couldn't believe we were going to end up on the beach. The hike started out through the green grassy hills. Honestly, I felt like we were in Scotland. We saw no other hikers-only the sheep. And for a little bit there we thought we were going to get blown away-the winds were so strong, it was hard to keep your balance on the pathway.
But oh the rewards ! One of the most beautiful deserted beaches we have ever seen. The sand was swept all over from the winds still going strong and the waves were crashing on the shore. Just breathtaking.
Our dream is to return to New Zealand some day, rent a camper van for 2 to 3 months and drive all over both islands. Until then, I look back with fond memories.
Happy Trails my fellow daydreamers.
