• Vanessa’s was closed!!!

    28 Januari 2020, New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Woke up to a beautifully sunny day. The caravan took another 2 hours to clean the pop top- nearly, nearly ready to list it.
    Mary kindly drove us up to Hampden so we could go to Vanessa’s for a well deserved coffee- we had planned to walk up and back but due to the extended caravan time we had missed our opportunity to walk both ways due to the tide times.
    However desperate for a coffee we were more than dismayed to find the cafe closed- shit it’s Tuesday!!!!
    V despondent we headed straight for the beach to walk the 5kms home. Then we remembered the Moeraki Boulders Tea Rooms that were on the list to visit anyway so we headed there instead.
    2 coffees and a date scone saw us out on the deck with the lovely view of the boulders. However there is something weird about the tea rooms and when I found a hair in my scone it put me off going back in a hurry!!
    By the time we got home it was lunch time,
    after which the afternoon was spent on more clearing and weeding.... yep it’s never ending!!
    The succulent and coriander got gentle watering and before we knew it it was time for dinner.
    A quick read of a cycling magazine peaked our desire to get on our bikes ...., looks like we may be off to central Otago as soon as more jobs done- yippee!!
