Before heading
towards Wellington, where our ferry goes at 8th of
January, we spent another couple of nights at a couchsurfing place
near Inglewood. It is a super friendly, welcoming family from
Holland, living in a house they built themselves on a little hill
surrounded by paddocks. They are amazing hosts and we are having a
great time filled with playing guitar, interesting talks, relaxing
and catching up with our photos and the blog.
Following their
advice we went to see a local seal colony right next to the port. It
was amazing to watch them – they are quite used to humans, because
it is a popular fishing spot as well. As long as you don't get too
close or come between them and the water, they are quite relaxed. We
couldn't stop taking photos :)
Next to the
colony, Paritutu rock is a nice natural lookout and worth the many
steps and the steep (almost vertical) climb to the top. We had a good
look at the mountain and the surrounding ranges from up there –
just a few clouds around it.
Hi, the photos look great! In the text above you mentionned a family from Holland. I am also going to Inglewood on my trip and I am interested to spent some time at their place as well. Do you have an email adress so that I can contact them? It would be very nice to hear from you! Steffi
