Back in time

Monday 29th. We had breakfast sitting outside on the deck. Not as warm as yesterday but still pleasant. Then we went for a walk around the garden. Well, walk's not quite the word for it, more a scramble and climb. The house is on the side of a steep hill and, consequently, so is the garden. They have many fruit trees, hens, vegetable plot, strawberry bed and part of a forest. It's difficult to tell where one property ends and the next starts. 

Next we decided to have a drive along Kenepuru Road. This road goes right along the peninsula, is very windy and has some beautiful views.  

We were going to stop for coffee but the clientele looked rather posh. 

Still, we had a good drive around and eventually returned to Anakiwa where we came two days ago. We sat for a while and watched the launching of one of the outward bound boats. Then, time for a short walk along the Queen Charlotte track. 

In the channel we could see a tall ship at anchor. 

As the walk progressed, so we got closer to the ship. 

We were put to shame when two ladies came running past us - it was bad enough just walking the track! We met quite a few others on the track including several cyclists. 

In the evening we went to the Linkwater Inn for fish and chips. It was like stepping back in time. 

Food very good, outside quite modern but inside, very retro.
