Chris and Kate’s Excellent Adventure
Well, I just got back from my trip up north with Kate’s family. What a blast!
After travelling up the east coast (camping all the way, of course) we arrived in Paton’s Rock, a small community near Takaka in Golden Bay. Apart from soaking up the sun
and roaming the perfect beach right outside our front door, we also went on several bushwalks, water skied, swam, ate (LOTS), went on enormous rambles up an icy-cold river, walked 34km of the heaphy track (totally unprepared for the nasty weather change which forced us to rely on the kindness of fellow trampers) and drove thousands (literally) of kilometres.
To tell the whole story takes hours and hours, so I won’t bother with the details, but suffice it to say it was the best summer vacation that I can remember.
Bring on next summer!
