Coromandel - Entspannung pur
... heute aber nur 1 Stunde in gemäßigtem Gelände. Unterwegs habe ich einen weiteren Kauri umarmt, sonst aber ganz viel Aussicht genossen. Das Wasser hat so ein herrliches Blau, kleine grüne Inselchen heben sich davon ab und überall das Meeresrauschen… Ich hab mich definitiv verliebt in die Gegend hier. Nachdem ich ein bisschen am Strand rumgelegen habe, ist mir der Wind jedoch auf die Nerven (oder eher Ohren) gegangen. Also ...
