The Putangirua Pinnacles

Today we visited another location featured on LotR: The Putangirua Pinnacles. Maybe it was shown in the 3rd film where some kind of army of the dead is risen. I obviously know all about it. I was a nice hike with great weather. These Pinnacles are quite impressive! Deceptively tall. The hike back led us through an almost dry, but incredibly rocky riverbed. Another one of those occasions that reminded me that I should wear different shoes with a little more grip. ^^
Since we still felt the thrill of discovering the Paūa Shells the previous day, we tried again on Whangaimoana Beach, but apart from finding amazing jade rocks (I wish I had my sandpaper with me to make them shiny and pretty (my precious!)), we didn’t have any luck with the shells in question.もっと詳しく
