We did another walk around Nelson in the early morning (not too early!!) a different way from yesterday out towards the bay. Very pleasant. The weather is changing.
Had a great coffee and bought some croissants for lunch to have with our leftover jam and peanut butter :)
Back to the motel for brekky of our leftover muesli plus banana and yoghurt from supermarket bought on the way back from the bakery. Yum.
Stretches - then on our way back-tracking towards the west coast where we came from yesterday … to Maruia Springs. Forecast: rain.
Pretty drive - steep and winding in parts.
Quick stop at Kawatiri where there is an historic railway walk. And lunch at Murchison (again) and MF bought one of those nice pies (again). I had my croissant.
Beautiful drive: photo stop at Maruia Falls and then on through the Lewis Pass with mist coming down the hills: quite other-worldly. It didn’t rain (don’t take any notice of the forecasts …).
On check-in at Maruia Springs, we arrived at our cute little ‘pod’ for the night.
Then straight to the hot pools - with liberal doses of sandfly repellent splashed on.
We elected to book in for a complimentary yoga session at 5:15 pm (particularly as MF has a stiff back atm and was saying after the yoga we did on the Heaphy Track that perhaps he should sign up for some …).
It was quite good - an hour! Then off to dinner.
Tried to check-in on stupid Jetstar app and website - useless. Hope no issues tomorrow.
Early to bed.
Great scenes…nice hot spring!
