2/3 - Farewell Spit

Hi All,

This is the most spectacular coastline in the region, with its caverns, islands, sand dunes and long stretch of beach. The walk passes over farm paddocks and through a section of coastal forest.



At the beach we got to see 4 baby Sea dogs playing around, they were so cute, although we wet our shoes and feet because of the high tide, it was worth every moment.



At this day we travel with Noa and Yaniv, a nice couple which we met at Abel tasman track, it was real pleasure to travel along, we took the time slowly during that walk, enjoying the difference view of this area.

2 other short trips were to Pupu Springs, which are consider to be the biggest natural coldwater springs in the southern hemisphere, and to the grove - a narrow chasm which was cracked under a big rock some many years ago.



The last couples of days we are sleeping in HIT and Chiburim families which hosts Israelis, we discovered this type of accommodation is very popular and we needed to book at least few days in advance.
we were really lucky to get hosted by Rob and Kirsten who were reached after so many "dead end" phone calls (they are not in the book, we got their number through other couples which were fully booked), although we didn't speak with them a lot since both of them were so busy, we found very nice people.



Have fun,
Efrat and Yoni.
