So, here we are sitting in our car at our campsite at the base of Mt. Cook hiding from the rain, finishing the last of a bottle of Cab. Sauv., eating TimTams, and trying to think of something interesting to write for our blog. We’re getting a bit behind since New Zealand doesn’t have much for free Wifi. Seems that the only place that you can get free internet is McDonalds, and sadly there aren’t many of those either.
We’ve been super busy lately and time is going by so fast. You would think that 3 months would be lots of time for New Zealand, but there’s just so much to see. From Abel Tasman, we headed north to Golden Bay and treated ourselves to a nice motel for a night. It was just what we needed to clean up from kayaking, and do laundry, etc. From there we went up to the Farewell Spit and spent 2 nights camping at Wharariki Beach. It’s a beautiful beach with all sorts of caves and arches that have been carved into the rocks by the ocean and the wind. We were lucky enough to have great weather and low tide for sunset
on both nights down at the beach. We also hiked from Wharariki Beach to Cape Farewell which is the Northern tip of the South Island. We would have gone farther, but it was so hot and we ran out of water so we decided to turn back after a picnic lunch.
Next blog we head south down the West Coast!
