This trip took a lot of preparation: arranging time off school, travel arrangements, route planning etc. etc. but all that only took us as far as Wellington on the North Island.
Returning to the South, I felt flat and at a bit of a loose end, until M stepped in with ideas and kind regard: another great beach, a fire, a swim, a tidy of the van, and a video interview.
