He recommended we cross by foot, where we\u2019ll reach the pools after a short walk. He said we\u2019ll see hundreds of others doing the same. The bridge is closed, he said, but go anyways. It was a gorgeous day and he said we shouldn\u2019t miss them. Umm, okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We put on our bathing suits and headed out. Up for an adventure, we drove 10 minutes up the road to the pools. Signs were everywhere warning us the pools were not visible from the track and the bridge was closed. We shrugged, sprayed ourselves with Off to ward off the sandflies and proceeded to hike 20 minutes through the beech forest to the bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" data-attachment-id=\"7588\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/myblogary.com\/index.php\/2024\/03\/22\/next-stop-makarora\/img_6695-1-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblogary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_6695-1-2.jpg?fit=2000%2C1500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2000,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 15 Pro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1711123132&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;2.22&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;40&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0040983606557377&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_6695-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblogary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_6695-1-2.jpg?fit=780%2C585&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblogary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_6695-1-2.jpg?resize=780%2C585&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblogary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_6695-1-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblogary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_6695-1-2.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblogary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_6695-1-2.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblogary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_6695-1-2.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblogary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_6695-1-2.jpg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/myblogary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_6695-1-2.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure enough the bridge was closed and had boards covering the entrance with chains and a padlocks.
