Stewart Island

Sophia: Last week, I went with Lena, Katharina and Jule to Stewart Island for a week. It was really amazing. We stayed on a sailing boat called the Elwing and then we sailed from bay to bay for 5 days. We often went on land and walked right through the bush away from the tramping ways. Then we went snorkling and kayaking. In the evening, we always wrote into our Logbooks and we got a hot chocolate from our skipper :)
On our last day, we made a camp fire in the bush and we cooked stuff like mussels which we collected the day before. Then  we went back to the beach, but it was totally dark and we had just two torches for 10 people. It was quiet funny :-) In the same night, we had to do a "nightwatch". Everyone had a turn to sit outside alone and watch the boat, because the skipper was afraid that the boat might drift into the shore. I was lucky, because I just had to stay up from 11 p.m. until 12 p.m. but other people had to get up two o'clock in the night :)
Anyway, the trip was awesome! I simply love the nature on Stewart Island. Everything is so green and untouched. So here are some pictures to share the beauty with you ;)


All of us on a rock :)
