Scraped through my coffers and picked up more Wellington photos of all sorts. There are some evening ones, there is Cuba Street, airplanes, another panorama with Welliwood’s stone marshmallows, flowers and sea creepers… stay tuned. We're going to warm up in Picton next.
Makara Beach is located 20 kilometers from Wellington. It is one of the windiest places in New Zealand. The coastal cliffs rise over 100 meters above the sea, giving a good view of the Tasman Sea. This point is very convenient for building defensive structures, which were erected there during World War II. There are no cannons there now, only concrete fortifications remain. The 6km walking route passes through a wind farm, but we didn't get there due to lack of preparation… Simply put, without food and water it is better not to go there on foot, despite «only 6 kilometers»
One weekend it was decided to go to pretend we are the «National Geographic» filming crew and see wild animals in their natural habitat. The goal of the trip were to see seals, who have taken up residence just 5 kilometers from Wellington. Buses run to the coast, but beyond that we had to walk on foot. But walking through such beauty - it's a pleasure!
When I landed in Wellington on Saturday evening, I had already crossed nine time zones heading east. Usually, people take three days to a week to recover from such a jet lag. But as a long-time reader of Exler, I knew about the magical pills — Melaxen — that help the body adjust to drastic time zone shifts. I decided to give them a try. The effect was incredible! The next morning, I woke up at 8 AM feeling like I hadn’t traveled at all. Great stuff; highly recommend!
