WWW.COROMANDELLIFE.CO.NZi spent that day exploring the surrounding area. climbing
different peaks to get different perspectives of the nature
that was around me i came across beautiful waterfalls,
ancient kauri dams tree stumps that were bigger than the
biggest tree remaining in new Zealand!
the bush is thick and sharp and very damp. Because it’s
quite flat up on top, it’s very swampy so as soon as you
are off trail you’re up to your knees in mud.
every where i looked there was something else that
amazed me. Just as i was walking back to the hut at the
end of the day, a large dragonfly flew past my head with
a tui in hot pursuit. they went left, right, up and down,
and then the tui dropped from above like a bomber and
grabbed it. epic!
every night i was at the hut, there were new exciting
people to talk to. they all had great stories to share –
that’s what i love about huts. it’s never just you. there
is just about always someone to share your night with. i
climbed up the Pinnacles again today to watch the sunset.
it was once again – so beautiful!
The sun is shining.
