And finally, we are at sea. The next patch of dry land is Australia, over 3,000km away.

We dip our feet in the cold water. Watch the breakers roll in. Enjoy the moment.

Thus, we come to the end of our journey at KareKare. Well, not quite.

How did I find out about this magical place in the first place? Through a little film called The Piano, where the beach is definitely the star. For all those who have seen it and thought that the beach was so picturesque due to the work of a good cinematographer, well, the camera in this case only captured the truth.
