Apologies for the break in transmission ... just a small case of our annual school fair and a sick boy with tonsilitis ... but now with the fair over (with a fantastic profit) and antibiotics in hand for the tonsilitis ... I can now continue with photos of our trip which I know you have all been hanging out for ... hahaha! ;)
Day 4 - we woke to a wet day in Greymouth, a bit unfortunate as we had planned to visit Shantytown. We debated for a while but decided to go ahead with the plan ... don't really feel like it was worth full price on such a wet day but think the kids enjoyed themselves. They especially loved getting dressed up and having an old fashioned photo taken (I'll scan that in for the next update).

The stop for that night was Nelson.
Day 5 - as we were staying in Nelson for 2 nights, today we visited some of the sights round the Nelson area.
This is a beach I have visited before ... I loved it then and had the same feeling again today. This is Kaiteriteri .... the lovely golden/orangy coloured sand and the sun shining ... simply stunning.
The kids loved running into the water, skimming stones and exploring the rockpools ...
The perfect settings for a photo opportunity ...
With wet jeans and all ...
Just magical ...
Whenever he found a patch of water he was skimming stones ...
Could just about have been on a tropical island ...
So is everyone still awake? ;)
