Bluff

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

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

In the morning, contrary to expectations, the weather was quite good, 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 pour like a bucket.

It's only 4831 kilometres to the South Pole and there's nothing left until then.

At Oyster Cove, as the name suggests, there were bluff oysters.
The rain turned into a storm and a taxi... No way, the friendly waitress drove us to the village and saved us half an hour in the storm. Thank you very much. Tomorrow we are going to Kaka Point.
