... Whatever you do, don’t put the blame on you. Blame it on the RAIN, yeah, yeah.
After a week of sustained rain showers, the heavens opened up and the glorious sun finally peaked out [queue optimistic music]! Our enthusiasm propelled us to take a “weekend getaway” to the coast about an hour east of Wellington - Cape Palliser. On the scenic drive along the coast we journeyed through hairpin turns with mountains on our left and ocean on our right... and of course, a million sheep in between.
We tried to reach a lighthouse at the end of the road but the unpaved track was so unpleasant, even at 10 mph the van shook so terribly we had to turn back [queue breaking dishes and rattling pans]. Instead, we parked the van and hiked through strange and unstable vertical formations of mud and stone at the Pinnacles Scenic Reserve (yet another location from Lord of the Rings).
On a completely different note, here are some inside pictures of “Big Green”... a virtual tour of our infamous living quarters: 9 feet in height, 15 feet long, and 6 feet wide. And we thought San Francisco apartments were tight.
