Amethys Hot Springs, egy természetes termálforrás Új-Zélandon

Hogy talál meg valaki egy ilyen csodát?

Még az északi szigeten kalandoztunk és hajtottuk az élményeket, amiket „nem szabad kihagyni”, mikor valahonnan azt az információt kaptuk, hogy természetes termálforrásokat nem találunk a déli szigeten. Akkoriban még bíztunk az ehhez hasonló tanácsokban és vetettük bele magunkat az északi szigeten lévő források keresésébe, majd – legtöbbször – a melegvízű medencékbe is 🙂

Azóta sok idő eltelt, és Cromwellben az OP Shopban végre tudtunk utikönyvet venni, ebben találtunk egy linket az interaktív térképhez,  amin tisztán látszottak a déli sziget forrásai is. Épp a déli sziget nyugati partján dolgoztunk egy könyvtárban, mikor Timinek megakadt a szeme egy könyvön: Új-Zélandi termálvizek. Ebben találtuk meg a déli sziget kincseit. 

A térképen kiszemeltünk pár útbaeső, kevésbé kiépített helyet, majd google alapján el is jutottunk a helyi vízerőmű parkolójába, ahonnan a túraútvonal indul. 

Túra a forráshoz

A délutáni kávé elfogyasztása közben láttunk helyieket vizes fürdőruhában visszafelé sétálni a folyó felől. Gyorsan szóba is elegyedtünk velük, és elmondták, hogy melyik ösvényen kell elindulni a forrás felé. Ez nagyon jól jött később, ugyanis a korábbi DOC-os túrák rendesen ki voltak táblázva, ez viszont nem.

Össze is szedtük a cuccainkat és elindultunk a folyót követve, míg el nem értünk az első elágazóhoz, ahol egy kis sárga fényvisszaverő jelezte amit korábban mondtak: első lehetőségnél balra.
Innentől már könnyű dolgunk volt, a patakon átkelést száraz lábbal sikerült megoldani, a túloldalon pedig kőre rajzolt felirat mutatta az utat: be az erdőbe.

10-20 méter után azonban elfogyott az erdő és kiértünk ugyanannak a pataknak a partjára. Azt gondoltuk megérkeztünk, ám a víz hőfoka messze elmaradt a várttól. Tanácstalanul körbe kémlelve felfedeztük a kis kőrakásokat a sziklákon, majd jobbhíján ezeket követve eljutottunk a következő sziklára rajzolt nyílig, ami átvezetett a nagy folyó partjára.

Itt már tudtuk, hogy jó helyen járunk, mert a víz gőzölgött és találtunk vödröket, kannákat, ásókat a bozót szélén.

Medencék és sandfly-ok

Szándékosan olyan helyet kerestünk, ami nem túristás, kiépített, így nem csalódtunk, mikor végre megpillantottuk a folyó parti kövekből épített kis „gátakat”, melyek a folyó vízét választották le a nagyobb kövektől.

A köveken feliratok hirdették, hogy mennyire forró a medence, és nem hazudtak. Izgatottan dugtuk bele, először a kezünket, a gőzölgő vízbe.

Égetett…

Végül az összes medencét megvizsgálva a „leghidegebb”, a folyóhoz legközelebb eső mellett döntöttünk. 

Ekkorra már szembesültünk azzal, amit a parkolóban a helyiek is mondtak: nagyon sok a sandfly. A Milfod Soundos posztban Timi már beszámolt mennyire barátságosak, így mikor elkezdtünk vetkőzni a medencézéshez, rögtön ránk vetették magukat. Gyorsan bebújtunk a

meleg medencébe, csak a fejünk látszott ki, majd átadtuk magunkat a víz kényeztetésének és csak gyönyörködtünk a látványban.

Egy idő után így is át kellett építenünk a gátakat, hogy több hideg víz keveredjen a feltörő forrással.

Miután kifürdőztük magunkat, gyors öltözés után (mert a sandflyok azért nem hagyták el a területet) indultunk vissza az autóhoz az ösvényen.

eső után más a helyzet

Mikor utazók találkoznak, mindig felmerül a kérdés, ki merre járt, kinek mi tetszett, ki milyen rejtett kincseket fedezett fel. Már mi is sokukkal tartjuk a kapcsolatot online. El is újságoltuk egy másik magyar párnak, akik Új-Zélandon kalandoznak, merre is találják ezt a termésetes melegvízű forrást.

Sajnos nekik egy kiadós eső utáni pár napban sikerült átautózniuk azon a vidéket. Bár megtalálták az ösvényt és a sziklákat, épp csak langyosnak érezték a vizet mellettük, a kis gátakat teljesen elvitte a megáradt folyó.

Talán nektek több szerencsétek lesz 😉

From waking up to ice on my windshield for the fir From waking up to ice on my windshield for the first time, somewhere in Poland to breakfast in bed on another freezing morning next to the Baltic Sea in Estonia. 2 stops during my 3000km solo roadtrip that I won't forget anytime soon.

If you're thinking about getting out of your comfort zone, just do it. Because if I could pull this off, you can also do anything.
And the feeling is amazing.

But I'm not going to lie, it sucks at the beginning. I had a low point about 3 days into the trip, and I seriously considered turning back. I was still in southern Poland, only a few hundred km from home, I was cold and tired and it all seemed too hard to do alone. So I cried a little, got some emotional support from home, then pulled myself together and drove almost all the way to the Lithuanian border. After that, things became a lot more easier and fun. 😊

My memorable Hurtigruten voyage deserves a post in My memorable Hurtigruten voyage deserves a post in my feed - a proof and reminder to myself that I worry too much.
Based on previous experiences, I was terrified of getting seasick on the ship, all alone for 18hrs, with no cabin to retreat to. 
At the end of course I was almost completely fine and it didn't even seem that long. 🙏

Fun fact: I actually saw this exact same ship back in march during my little norwegian roadtrip, in Honningsvag - little did I know that in a few months I would be on board 😊

Lots of questions about this, so here it is: i'm v Lots of questions about this, so here it is: i'm volunteering at a small farm in Norway, about 1.5hrs from Bergen. In exchange for the work, I get food and accommodation. I was looking for a place where I get to learn about caring for rescued animals and gardening as I'm very interested in it. I also knew that I wanted to come back to Norway and explore it a bit more 😊 
I currently don't have the budget to travel around an expensive country, but this way most of my expenses are covered and I get to explore in my free time and I learn a lot 😊

Answering the question i got asked the most during the past few months: how much did i pay for my rental car in Lapland? (Or was it the 'how old are you?' 🤔 Anyway, i'll talk about the car now 😅)

I rented this beautiful Corolla for 2.5 months and i paid 1840 eur total. It's not a small amount BUT well, being free and flexible doesn't have a price tag. Also it's less than 25 eur/day. This included almost 5000km, a 2nd driver, possibility to cross the border to Norway and Sweden, returning the car at night, and insurance. Now, the insurance was not zero excess which stressed me a little every now and then and i'd probably do it differently next time which would make it more expensive of course. My biggest fear was hitting a reindeer 🫣 But even tho I didn't really have previous winter driving experience, nothing happened and I didn't get any extra charges.
⛽️Thanks to the hybrid technology, i also didn't have to spend a fortune on fuel. 🙏
The car was from Sixt Rovaniemi, as they don't require credit card and communication was a bliss.💌

FYI, i got similar offers for the summer in another European country, so if you're spending several months at a place and don't want to buy, it worths to ask around.
Although this time i might actually buy one, let's see how it goes 🤞
