Day hike at Queen Charlotte track - Ship Cove to Furneaux Lodge

Summary: Whilst the 70 km Queen Charlotte track which is located at Marlborough, New Zealand can be walked in 3 - 5 days, for those short in time it is also possible to just do a section of the track in 1 day. The easy and tranquil day hike from Ship Cove to Furneaux Lodge (Endeavour Inlet) offers beautiful views of the Queen Charlotte Sound as well as an opportunity to relax half way through the hike in the secluded Schoolhouse Bay. Rating: 4.5/5 - A beautiful day hike offering great coastal scenery Getting there: Water taxis from Picton can take passengers on a 1 hour cruise to Ship Cove in the morning before returning to pick up passengers from Endeavour Inlet in the afternoon (I used Cougar Line ).

Takeaways from Continuous Discovery Habits - Teresa Torres

Photo by Austin Distel on Unsplash Off topic pre-amble I’ve decided to try something new and start writing posts summarising my personal takeaways from non-fiction books I read. Whilst the primary driver is that I hope spending the time to reflect and summarise what I’ve learnt from the book will help me better absorb what I’ve learnt (as opposed to just taking copious notes for future reference, which is what I’ve done up until now), and hopefully it might be interesting to someone that might come across this. The takeaways here are personal in nature and are weighted towards things that resonated with me or that I would have benefited from the most, as such it may or may not include the most important aspects of the book. Getting back on topic of the book… Teresa Torres’s book Continuous discovery habits (* affiliate link - commissions earned) has been on my backlog of books to read for a while and I wish I’d put it a lot higher on the list as I learnt a lot fr...
