Bluff

In the far south is Bluff, a small village with the southern port of New Zealand. The trip from Te Anau was unexcited, a stop at the Suspension Bridge and the Mc Crackens Rest were wet and rainy. The weather forecast for the next few days is rather modest.

The property is already over 100 years old and poorly insulated, so cold, we fired up the stove and cooked, then it was warmer.

In the morning it was contrary to expectations quite good weather, so off to the viewpoint at Bluff Hill 265m, the view is beautiful and we walk back down to Stirling Point, something like the southernmost point. Definitely the end of SH1. Just as we arrive it starts to rain like buckets.

There are only 4831 km left to the South Pole and there is nothing left until then.

In Oyster Cove, as the name suggests, there were the bluff oysters.
The rain turned into a storm and taxi… Wrong, the friendly waitress drove us to the village and saved us the half hour in the storm. Thank you very much. Tomorrow we drive to Kaka Point.
