A different sort of day. We've had loads of guided tours, many telling us the same thing. Today, we were taken in a boat part way up the coast and dropped off on a beach in the park. The New Zealand Department of Conservation is excellent and has worked hard in its efforts to conserve and even in places regenerate the original NZ flora and fauna. In this park, they have created tracks along the coastline from top to bottom, and we followed a section of it, with splendid views, lush, sweet-smelling vegetation and interesting bird-life. Our previous guides had educated us enough for us to recognise things as we went round. When we got back to the beach, we had time to sit in the glorious sunshine, plodge in the sea, and have a picnic, until the boat came to pick us back up.
Some time to do some supermarket stuff for todays lunch, then back to the hotel and pout for a pizza (you can get ordinary toppings, but mine was a "wooly wooly" with lamb and mint yogurt!
