    Day 29
    A tad cold this am..... -1 so we waited until 11am when it was 5 degrees to go for a bike ride on Otago Rail Trail.
    Off we went after lunch and continued on our way to Moeraki. We are parked up right next to beach at the Red Barn a private park over property (pop) 😀 we had fish and chips 🍟 for dinner, more blue cod. Really delish.
    Feels and sounds weird to be back on the coast again after all the lakes.
    Lovely sunset 🌇 and forecast is still great next few days.    Leia mais

    Day 30

    A wonderful sunrise on Moeraki Beach and a walk up to the boulders across the road.
    Had to stop at Vanessa's Cafe in Hampden for a huge muffin and sausage roll.
    Had to stop at Rainbow lolly shop Oamaru, can't go past there without a stock up.
    Came past Riverstone Castle just north so quick stop for an updated photo and browse in shops. Scaffolding around the new drawbridge going in and carpark is getting redone too, all ready for Spring.
    Onto Waimate where we will stay night at Nzmca Park.
    A stunning day today, indeed quite warm.    Leia mais

    Left Waimate, but not until we met up with the lovely Angela and Keith who have moved down here in October.
    Forgot to take a photo!!! Oh no but a lovely Cafe called The Bakery. They are doing up all the historic buildings.
    Another fine day. 🌞
    Drove State Highway 1 through Timaru and Ashburton to NZMCA Park out of Chch by the Waikariri braided river. Right next door, a fabulous dog park.
    Only one photo today! Taken out our back window tonight.

    Day 33

    Welcome home tonight to our fellow camping buddy Denise Crimp and entrepid explorer Bella 🐕 . We're not too far behind you.
    Let's hope those boys don't get up to too much mischief!
    We left Otira amidst our first wind and rain, but just for awhile. Drove last bit of Arthur's Pass until you turn off for Blackball. Short stop in pretty Moana to stretch our legs. Blackball next where we bought salami and had lunch at the Hilton. 🏨 lol
    Stopped at PIKE River Memorial only 15kms from the mine near the main road. Very moving.
    Now we are freedom camping on the river, right in lovely old town Reefton. I like it here and will have an explore in the morning.
