I'll let the photos speak for themselves! We spent today out at Farewell Spit and adjacent coast line - walking over the cliffs to Cape Farewell, the most northerly point on South Island, then taking a loop walk which involved walking on both sides of the Spit and across it. Although Farewell Spit is 30km long you can only walk 4km along it before you come to barriers and an environmentally sensitive area. It is another 2km or so across and then the return is an additional 6km (by a different route). It was a sunny day and warm, but the wind was ferocious and slowed up any attempts to walk into it.
For your information, tame eels are eels that have been hand fed (??) and one place boasted that they had been hand feeding eels for 90 years - we have to assume they don't mean they have fed the same eels for 90 years or they would now be the size of killer whales! I have got no further with the Weka Workshops or the cardboard chaos, but give me time. We are now staying in Takaka, a much bigger place than Collingwood, but where the takeaway fish and chip shop closes at 7.30pm on a Saturday night.
More tomorrow - enjoy the pics
Gold Rush ice cream? Maybe not up the standard of hokey pokey but I'm sure you deserve to indulge and have your daily fix. I just can't understand how you always seem to be cycling INTO the wind. Logically you should enjoy a tail wind sometimes???
