andrew went on a dolphin trip on friday whilst the rest of us went to explore some local water falls
then we headed up the coast a bit to look at an old stone shop
it’s really very rare to find anything as substantially built as this so it was lovely to be reminded of big old stone houses from the old world
this one has been a shop for a hundred and fifty years or something which makes it ancient by kiwi standards
after that we had a quick look in a chocolate factory
before heading over to russell to meet andrew
these ladies took the pedestrian ferry
whilst julie, kezia, olivia and i went on the car ferry with all the beach paraphernalia
we got there first so set up camp
after much playing in the sand and sea we made our separate ways back.
we did a spot of geocaching on the way back by car and the laughlands went home by boat (and saw some dolphins apparently too)
