Jiddler's Tipple Motueka New Zealand Pilsner (Picked up at Hampstead Butcher & Providore in London). A 3 of 4. Really bright lemon and line hop notes on top of a light, thin body that gives you what a pilsner should. Nice hop complexity on this lighter-bodied beer.

Nos ez egy kollab sörnek tűnik, a hátsó címkén azt írják, hogy 5 másik főzdével közösen hozták össze, afféle barátság-sör, már a nyolcadik ilyen főzet.

Jó kis sűrű, telt, erős sör ez, komlóbomba van benne, ilyen egy rendes dupla IPA. Van benne sorachi ace, motueka, elixir, nelson sauvin, cashmere és tango komló, 18,8 Balling és 8,5% alkohol.

Igen finom ám!

Zum Wohl!

After getting Elrond back in working order, I said goodbye to Motueka (and a little baby Pīwakawaka who came to say goodbye back) and went on my way to Elaine Bay. I made a brief stop in Whakatū to get some groceries, and then drove down the road I mentioned in yesterday's post, which offered stunning views that were hard to photograph:

I had to fight not to get out of my car for photos at every turn. I spent the night there and in the morning I went back out to the water. The sun was shining brightly now and the water was just as clear as the night before, which meant I could see the fish, the starfish, and the absolutely massive stingrays I had been wise to avoid encountering in the dark last night:

I enjoyed the (still) lovely sunny weather by going on my last hike of the island: Pīwakawaka track, which led to a very peaceful little beach in about 45 minutes one way:

And despite my reluctance, after having lunch (cooking in Elrond for the last time) I had to get back on the road. I managed to take some more pretty pictures of the view:

I'll admit, I was very emotional during the hike and the drive. It really feels like the end of an era, and even though part of me never wants to leave, I feel like it's a good thing that it's ending. I have been alone for too long, and today I really felt that. Not only have I been physically alone, and dealing with a lot of stressful things, but this trip has also forced me out of my sociopolitical bubble and that has been unsettling to say the least. It has made me think a lot about what I find important, what home means to me, and how I want to live my life going forward. It's like I've stepped out of my comfort zone, and now have lost all sense of where it's supposed to be. I crave to go back, I'm homesick, but I know I've changed. I still am changing. I don't know what my comfort zone is supposed to look like anymore. I'm sure I'll find it again eventually, but that is a scary feeling. A feeling that makes me look forward to being hugged again, and having at least a little more normalcy and luxury than I have now. But that also makes it scary to step into a new chapter.

As I drove and listened to harmonious, pensive music, the clouds rolled in and it started raining. It didn't stop until about an hour ago. I still couldn't resist getting out of the car to take a photo at one of my trip's very first stops, Pelorus bridge:

I could almost see myself from four months ago right there, hanging out on the rocks and taking pictures. Feeling nervous and excited, the whole trip ahead of me. But also a lot less experienced, a lot more nervous about driving still, and in no way yet used to van life. I may still have so much to learn, but those things I feel like I well and truly have conquered, and I'm pretty proud of that.

I completed the way to Waitohi, recognising some stops along the way where I once stopped and took pictures and hiked. And then I finally made it to my first - and now also last - camping spot. I got myself some food, saw a familiar face (and told him how I remembered him, and he had made me feel welcome on my first day), and ate in Elrond while watching my favourite series. Now I'm just dreading the six minute walk to the closest public toilet, but I'll undertake that journey after finishing up all these posts!

Tomorrow I will take the boat back to Te Ikaroa, and hopefully get some rest. I'm already mentally preparing for the seasickness. I just hope the weather will stay dry now, and I can enjoy the views from the boat like I did last time!

For now, sweet dreams to Aotearoa, good afternoon to Europe. You'll hear from me again soon I hope!

On va passez une belle fin de semaine tout le monde:

Herman Brasserie Artisanale

In the shade of an oak tree, workers pack apples into wooden cases at Ngatimoti in the lower Motueka River valley, Nelson province with a picket in the orchard behind. 1890s. From this time apple growing increased in scale, and by 1918 rivalled sheep exports with refrigeration ships. #apples #NewZealand #exports

Moersleutel Motueka x7 NE DIPA (Picked up at de Bierkoning in Amsterdam). A 3 of 4. Lighter body and bright citrus and lime in the nose, as well as some more interesting vegetal notes behind it.

Nelson to Marahau

I never quite know how to fill travel days—there's always that weird gap between check out and check in that isn't always filled with actual travel. Today, the trip was only about an hour, but I had 5 to kill before I could check in. If I didn't have a cooler bag full of perishables, maybe I wouldn't be counting down the hours. As part of the travels, I went to Toad Hall in Motueka for lunch at Lauren's suggestion (thanks Lauren!).

I had a very delicious poke bowl with karaage chicken and an equally delicious passion fruit guava sour. After lunch I stopped off at the Janie Seddon wreck and a walk along the beach.

Next stop was Talisman Heights in Kaiteriteri to get a sweeping view over the beach. This was the busiest beach I have ever seen in NZ - I knew it was popular, but honestly it seems a bit overkill! There are so many other nice beaches! Maybe it's magical, I don't know, since I didn't actually stop at the beach.

After I checked in to my next accommodation, I did some research for tomorrow and then headed back out. I walked along the beach in Mārahau for a while before heading over to Split Apple Rock to wander along a different beach 😂

Bye Nelson

12週間のNelson生活が終了、毎日海見れて最高だった〜🌊毎日の密度が超濃くて、一日たりとも退屈に感じた日はなかった。むしろ、1日24時間じゃ足りなくて初めて時間が惜しいと思った！これだけでNZに来てよかったと思える。

毎日友達と遊んで、勉強して、ホストファミリーと喋って、週末は旅行して本当に楽しかった。最高にクールな家族と友達にも出会えて、人生のハイライト間違いなし🐏🇳🇿

1番のゴールだった英語力はまあまあ。完全に英語に囲まれた生活だったから英語にも慣れたし、大体会話はできるようになった。けど、どうしても同じフレーズばかり使っちゃうので改善したい。Anyway, Cambridge Exam合格してますよーーーに。*受講済み

Aucklandでの生活も楽しみ！
