Amazing stretch of water, along with handsome Gus as a private guide through your hike. Photography gives a good feel for how change happens suddenly on island of the long white cloud Nicky.
By what I have heard weather wise you can expect rain most days, at least you got to stretch your legs, open the lungs after a grueling porta potty call, when on tour you always lament to lack of time in certain areas.
I definitely hear the sound of I have to return to explore some more!
I do think I rode my luck with NZ weather as it was unseasonably good (warm and sunny) most days. Just the odd day we spent in the rain like today but weather changes quickly there and the day after I left, the real winter struck and took a turn for the worse!
Plenty of rain on the west coast absorbed by all the mountain ranges
Always pot luck with the weather, we had snow here yesterday up in the mountains.
In NZ I believe many roads are difficult to get through when snow falls, with change in weather patterns around the world it really is a good guessing game.
Yea man! Plenty of moss in these parts adding to the eerie atmosphere from the clouds. It really was a dreary day when we went but you're right, it didn't take away from the lovely scenery and if it still looks this lovely when it's grey, imagine how awesome it is in slightly clearer weather! I'd love to come back here again 🙂
Haha yea well it was Gus who made the walk really! I took some great videos of him stampeding up behind us that I'll share in a later travel video but working my way through the blogs for the time being 😀
I wish it was a slightly better day weather wise but can't have it all! This really was a great place to visit and would spend longer next time I visit for sure
Oh man, another place to spend a month or two. My trick is to sit in a pub for a day or two with a straight Coca Cola drink and to listen to the talk of the locals. Soon one becomes accepted in a way and then the secret spots of the place start to be revealed.
You guys seemed to have a great time and "Gus" your guide was certainly very experienced. A lovely place indeed mate.
Blessings!
I'd recommend a few months in New Zealand, heck, a few years, why not? You don't even need to listen in for a few days eavesdropping, you can go up an ask, they are friendly enough 🙂
Gus was a complete legend on the tour haha! He really made the walk whilst everyone else walked off, he stayed around with us 3, leading the way!

Hey @joanstewart haha yea Gus was leading the charge on this one! It was surreal having him with us for all that time!
Yes we were pretty fortunate actually with the weather given the time of year we went in May!
And you'd be right. Don't be surprised to hear about me going back there in a few years time 😀

May is a good month to travel in southern hemisphere, out of season, normally weather does behave it really is on the day.
Rain did give a true reflection of the area since they get a lot of rain down there.

This pictures of the moss = LOVE! On the one hand too bad about the weather but on the other hand it adds so much to the pictures!

The story's all fine and well, but really, it's Gus who makes this post. 😂
That looks like an incredibly relaxing place to visit and explore. 😍

Hahaha, I think that the duck committee placed Gus there to lead possible feeders to the clan.
