Schoolhouse Bay - Camp Bay

Efter en meget blæsende nat og morgen startede vi ud i fire timers regn! Vejrudsigten havde sagt overskyet vejr, men ikke noget om regn, så vi håbede, at det hurtigt ville gå over, hvilket det ikke gjorde. Telefonen og alt andet, der ikke kunne tåle vand, blev derfor gemt godt væk!

Inden vi kom til et lille sheltersted, var vi allerede godt våde. Vi ventede i ly, indtil det stoppede med at regne, og fortsatte derefter videre.

Kun fem minutter fra det sted, vi camperede, lå der et resort, hvor man bl.a. kunne købe pizza, og de sparede ikke på osten!

Ved campstedet mødte vi også mange weka-fugle, som ikke kan flyve, men som er hurtige og kan hoppe. De findes kun på Sydøen. De er utrolig nysgerrige, og et øjebliks uopmærksomhed, så har de snuppet din ske, dit affald eller hvad ellers der ligger løst.

After a very windy night and morning, we started the day with four hours of rain! The weather forecast had predicted cloudy weather but said nothing about rain, so we hoped it would pass quickly, which it didn’t. Phones and everything else that couldn’t handle water were therefore packed away safely!

Before we reached a small shelter, we were already completely soaked. We waited there in cover until the rain stopped and then continued on.

Just five minutes from where we camped, there was a resort where you could buy pizza and they didn’t hold back on the cheese!

At the campsite, we also met many weka birds, which can’t fly but are fast and can hop. They are only found on the South Island. They are incredibly curious, and a moment of inattention is enough for them to steal your spoon, your trash, or anything else left lying around.Read more
