Oriental Bay, wellington

It took me bloody 5 hours (!!) to reach this small little beach. but instead of walking all the way to oriental bay, i chose to take a bus (after 4 hours and 40minutes of walking). Why? because i took the wrong path from the very BEGINNING!!!
instead of walking along the 'Southern Walkway', i followed another walkway call 'city to sea walkway', and i only realised it after almost 5 hours of walking! the funny thing is, instead of climbing up Mount Victoria, i ended up in University of Victoria. this is stupid......

university of victoria

now i start to wonder which peak that i had actually got up to. there is this funny looking statue on top of the peak,which i thought its representing Victoria! i must admit that it was fun though, and i did get to Oriental Bay eventually anyway.

and i thought this is how the legendary Victoria looks like..

i was quite disappointed with the fact that there is nobody in this beach. This is kind a small for a beach but there should be people crazy enough to come over and have a swim.

the only creature in this beach

My leg is kind of numb now after playing with the cold sea water. Also, the wind is getting really strong now and the sand is hitting me REAL hard now....better run quick...
