Gill's Travels!!
OK so slight blunder in the last entry... the whales we obviously not 18 foot!! they were 18 meters!!! opsy!
anyway we've left Kikora now and we drove to Nelson which is a lovely little city. similar feel to Queenstown.
The weathers been gorg so we've taken advantage and had a couple of beach sunbathing days! they were v nice.. though nikki got crapped on by 4 sealgulls in 1 hour!! we told her it was lukcy ... don't think she saw it like that!!
think they were aiming for me and missed actually as my told road kill death rate of birds has now reached 5!! ops! well if they will keep flying into grandma at high speeds!!
we stayed at another funky hostel too... with a poole no less! met some comedy random Israilan dude in a tiny pink car! think his hair was bigger than his car!!
also met some Canadians and Americans.
don't worry though.... we have been ruffin it loads recently though!! lots of crashing in car parks etc!!
yesterday the weather wasn't as good so after camping in a car park we headed to the Golden Bay - about hour or two drive away (the driving here is amazing!! over mountains and hairpin bends etc!!! phil its like being in you PSP but better!!)
anyway we went to Farewell Split at the top of the South island and we drove down another dirt track... though this time we hit the jackpot!!
after a 20 min walk over the hills we got to the most amazingly beautiful beach we'd ever seen!! can't express how gorgeous it was!! rolling sand dune and the water glissened.. was just breath taking. (check out the photos) we were practically the only ppl on the whole beach.
we walked a bit along then there was a little cave at the end so we climbed in then Nikki just said..'theres a seal in here'!
it was amazing! turns out there were two wild seals in the cave!! they were so beautiful and the female let me get so close to her... about 8 foot (not Meters!!) the male was a bit grumpy (glad that generic throughout different species!!) but he was cool too!!
went a bit David Bailey with the old photos but got some good ens!!! check em out!!
we then went to an fab resturant for dinner... just driving looking for something and stumbled across a lovely little place run by two brothers and me and nosh were in heaven at the sea food tapas!! was soooo good!!! then after we finish we were the only ones in there so the two lads sat came and joined us which was cool.
we crashed in by the sea last night and this morning (and for those who've lived with me will understand just how upsetting this was) had to clean my teeth in a field!! not even running water!! what!
anyway we had another great day... drove to Tasman National Park which was lush... we found another fab beach and after lunch we climbed down to it and played for hours in the rock pooles!!! me and nikki took little dip into the sea!! was so warm!
back in nelson now and we have to leave the south island in few days :( not happy as its pretty much the best place in the world!!
but Welingtons meant to be fun so such we'll find some trouble to make there!!
take care all
