We stayed overnight again here - partly because we still owed Jo an extra night's stay from last time (we left too early to catch her) and partly because it is SUCH a beautiful area to stay. On a more practical note, we also needed some technical help from the auto-electrician in Nelson with the two-hook socket - one of the connections had failed and melted. :( The beaches were very busy because of the forthcoming public holiday weekend and the good weather. But luckily we had rung ahead to book the same site as last time (there's only 16 sites here) and it was great to be able to walk to beach and collect some more sponges and driftwood to take home.
Dizzy was so good - even when the naughty Wekas were teasing her and trying to steal her food!

The cafe nextdoor was open this time (it was closed over Christmas) but other than coffees, we didn't have an opportunity to stop for a bite to eat. Next time we will though, and next time we hope to have some kayaks on board so we can explore that estuary for fish!
