Castlepoint

Oh that was a shaky night. I imagined Romeo and me sliding in the sea or a wave would drag us in the water, just two of those nice little scenarios that pop in your head when you're alone in a storm. Luckily I slept very well and woke up only once. So I think we're good now. Ready for our journey together. I headed to the lighthouse Nr. 1 after breakfast with the first of many rainbows. The gravel road from last night was not less scary to drive in daylight... There I met Tom, a English guy on holiday, he worked in summer up at Coromandel and is driving down to Wanaka for the winter ski season. We had a very interesting conversation about Brexit and co. so it was quite late when I left Cape Palliser. After a beautiful drive through green hills with those warm autumn colors I arrived in Castlepoint where the second lighthouse was. I checked in and went for a walk, again, incredible lighting and rainbows. And a 15min intense shower where I met a Katie and Mark with their four year old son Jago and their friend Dan. We had a nice chat and they invited me to their cottage for warming up since the temperature would drop to zero tonight. So after diner I took one of my last Swiss chocolate and got there. It was a night to remember with lot's of laughter, good conversation and me trying to teach them how to play Jass, a Swiss card game.Okumaya devam et
