Ship Creek - Kahikatea swamp forest ©gs

Da geht ja richtiger Urwald los...

So hat mal die ganze Westküste ausgesehen, jetzt gibt es nur noch Relikte. Das hier ist ein besonders schöner Naturlehrpfad.

Na, das gefällt mir - fast so schön wie in El Pangue ;-)

Danke, Erhard! Ein Unterschied: die Wege waren hier längst nicht so abenteuerlich, alles bestens befestigt und ausgebaut;-) LG Gudrun

Lovely forest... and BTW, by EXIF date - you are not uploading only old photos, but also photos taken during this winter? If it's true - congrats! (and I envy you)!

Cheers, Tom

Thanks, Tom! Yes, it's true:-) Rather a spur of the moment decision as I couldn't take any holiday through summer and autumn, so there wasn't much choice. It was an organized tour as I had onky 3 weeks and coming back I nearly missed Xmas;-)

Good decision, although I prefer self organized tours. ;-)

I admire people able to make such a sudden decisions! I am bit... lazy and scared before I reach out.

I also would have preferred being able to explore independently - with a group you can't always do what you want. But then, if you have only 3 weeks you haven't much choice. And of course it's nice not having to think about transport and where to stay at night;-)

☆☆LIKE!☆☆

Beautiful photo
