Another lovely day in Dunedin. We are supposed to make the most of it here since you just never know what system will be coming around the (island) corner.
We decided to go to the peninsula again, to explore the unexplored. We had heard about Lover's Leap, and how dramatic it is. And drama was just what we were looking for (umm...not really).
Not knowing the paths at all, we just took a chance and went up the 'overlook trail' first, only to find out that it was connected with the trails to Lovers' Leap and the Chasm. But, this trail had some obstacles. Namely, there were lots of spiky plants, and stinging nettles. The trail was also very dense with vegetation in parts that it was rather unclear which direction we should go.
We persevered, and eventually got to the two spots, both of which had truly dramatic settings of extreme cliffs. I am talking the kind that if you have any fear of height (like me), you don't really want to look to see the bottom.
Despite the wobbly feelings I had in my legs looking down these things, can I just say how glorious the day was? And the landscape all around us? And how lucky we are to be enjoying such superb sceneries, of course shared by numerous fluffy sheep?
