25 Feb 2021
Send us a textBlissful Hiker learns about the Maori legend of the sandfly, created to remind us that this Garden of Eden is something ephemeral, and one we can only pass through. In this episode:Blissful finishes her glorious walk of the Queen Charlotte Track visiting Havelock for a pot of mussels then camping on a trail angel's lawn. The walk continues to the unbelievably crystal clear emerald green Pelorus River. It's a glorious path through magical forests of beech and moss, a hobbit habitat. Blissful takes a swim, but is eaten alive by sandflies, definitely not part of the "Pure New Zealand" campaign.It's a steep hike to the ridge, with views to the big mountains ahead, then down Hacket Creek to meet friends in Nelson where Blissful plays a koauau, a Maori flute.MUSIC: MUSIC: Allegro by Carlos Guastavino as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, pianoSupport the show
