Quick update with a few nice photographs - we're currently on the West coast of the South Island after leaving Nelson Lakes (after our long hikes... yeah right) and drove up to the north of the South Island to Golden Bay. We took a nice photo of meself and the missus on the jetty at Lake Rotoiti - the other of the Nelson Lakes:
I felt like a bit of a spa sitting on the jetty by myself while Su set the auto-timer on her camera so excuse the grumpy face. Still a nice photo though!
We got to our chosen resting place in Golden Bay late enough in the evening. We saw a nice beach with a jacks nearby and made ourselves at home.
The beach is called Tata Beach (so Su tells me) and it seems to be a hotspot for motor boats, jet skis, and water skiers. Su showed me one of her hidden talents and rocked the water skis:
The seasoned water skiers on the beach were gob-smacked and in total awe of her abilities. Shortly after this photo was taken she did a triple back somersault and glided perfectly onto the beach and stepped out of the water skis to a rapturous round of applause. I've never seen anything like it (never).
After all that exertion, it was time to stop sunning ourselves and watch the sun go down. We stayed two nights at Tata Beach - no sand flies and lovely weather - you couldn't ask for more:
I think this is one of the better photographs I've taken. Anyway, we're just outside Charleston on the West Coast now - at a pizzeria that has a camp site attached! It's great! We might even splash out and go for a pizza being the crazy things that we are. Hope all are well!
