• Night two at Hampden

    21. Februar 2024 in Neuseeland ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Quiet night here in Hampden to spite the train track being very close. It didn't wake me when they went through.
    After my posting on Facebook I was very surprised at the number of people that were interested in this pensioners journey. Hope they have the link now. Like I have said I won't be offended if it isn't your cup of tea.
    This morning I finally got the jackpot and got a beautiful spot. The sea is close and I can see and hear the waves.
    Hampden is a bit further north from the Moeraki Boulders. Seemingly 40 minutes to walk there. Decided it was a little far but walked a long way down the beach. I tried to develop my artistic side. Better say that it is a "W" incase you don't see my arty side!
    This morning I got the map out and plotted my next move.
    Waimate is my next stop. Decided to re-read my David Smith book to get all the facts in my brain before going to the Museum in Waimate where David Smith lived. Re-reaading it certainly high lighted somethings I could have researched at Hocken Library if I had remembered.
    Walked up to the shops this afternoon (there is a dear little gift shop and a Night n Day) and decided on sausages for my meal tonight and tomorrow night and the next night..! They don't have small amounts. Oh well.
    We had some bagpipes playing here this afternoon too. So lovely to hear. The guy walked by, just with street clothes on but it was so good to hear.
    Busy here but not super busy.
    Take care out there
