Day 205: Heaphy Trail: Heaphy Hut to Karamea

The path from Heaphy Hut traces the coast and often opens to stunning views of the raging Tasman Sea. This palm-fringed coast is hardly Fiji. Stacks of driftwood trunks litter the beaches. Dangerous riptides make swimming suicidal. When the sea meets the shore it is churned into a froth resembling milk. The numerous stoat traps along the path are now placed for the protection of penguins rather than kiwis. After a short hill and swingbridge crossing the trail is over. I've three hours to han...

Loop = lie.

... Westport beach and breakwaters, considering the rest of the town, was suprisingly beautiful. Je was dissapointed at the lack of toilets in the vicinity. Ha.<br><br>* 'P' was our poo party theme. We came up with many ideas, the winner being 'pants'. Can anyone see a flaw in our plan?!

Pancakes, but not the edible kind

... Punakaiki Pancake Rocks. They are basically cliffs and blowholes that look like a giant stack of pancakes. The sea was beating against them and the wind was howling, causing massive amounts of spray. They were pretty impressive and unusual. They are formed by weathering of the rock. As it was getting dark, we stopped for the night in Westport, in a beautiful hostel built in 1863.

... driver, did were pretty extreme and meant you got pretty wet and cold but no one seemed bothered! We went back to the base area for a warm up by the fire and a nice cup of tea. In the evening we stayed in a really compact little hostel with all the amenities we could ask for. This was a really good chance for the group to get some well needed R&amp;R (it's no holiday travelling!) so we got cooking up a good meal, washed our clothes and got an early night. The next ...

Karamea

Maandag 12 Mei Vandaag ga ik naar Karamea. De avond ervoor heb ik geen busticket kunnen kopen over internet. Gelukkig is het geen probleem om 1 uur voordat de bus vertrekt nog een kaartje te kopen waar ik als enige passagier mee kon naar Karamea!! De bus deed ook dienst als couriers bedrijf dus onderweg zijn we bij verscheidene adressen gestopt om pakketjes af te leveren. Na een slingerend ritje ...

... of coal, and were also treated to an impressive demonstration of the capabilities of 4WD when we drove down some steep slopes and through some serious mud. Fog can roll in instantly at Stockton, fortunately mine host was able to engage diff lock and get us out the way when a monstrous 100 ton coal truck appeared out of the gloom despite all normal radio communication procedures. Interesting outing, but I think I'll stick to being a ...

Sie benutzt das Licht, um Fluginsekten anzulocken in dem sie Tageslicht vorgaukeln; diese bleiben dann in den klebrigen Faeden haengen, die die Larve unter ihrem Koerper baumeln hat. Faeden mit Futter werden dann hochgezogen und die Beute verspeist. Leider haben diese Larven keinen Darmausgang. Haben sie genug gemuemmelt, verpuppen sie sich und ...
