When the water is just too tempting... We didn't plan on going swimming today, and hiked up to Charlies Rick without our swimming costumes or towels. The water just looked so good that we had to jump in! Who needs swimmers when there's no-one else around? That's one of the best things about New Zealand - finding sweet spots like this just off the beaten track!

The rain stopped and the clouds parted just in time for our arrival at Te Rerenga Wairua! This is where the Tasman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean. It's really strange to see waves travelling in opposite directions crashing into each other! It's a spiritually significant site for Maori, who believe that this is where the spirits depart New Zealand.

We've been learning the zen art of petanque with a former New Zealand champion and we're hooked!

We're loving the North Island, but it's fair to say we miss the South Island a bit these days. But no worries, because we'll be back in sunny Nelson in June where we can enjoy this beautiful spot at Rabbit Island anytime! P. S. If anyone knows of any winter work going in Nelson, let us know! We can't be on holiday forever...
