After breakfast we went to meet the morning train from Christchurch, specifically Paul and Lucy! The trains here run on time so we just made it to the station as the train was pulling in. It was only a short walk back to the apartment to dump their gear before going out to get sarnies and then off for a walk around the coastline. Really nice day so some great photos of sea, cliffs and sunshine :) Damn seagulls weren't happy though, we were walking by their nesting sites and they kept dive bombing us. Lucy was their favourite and gave her the good luck charm of butt peppering her! Nice!
Michael and Paul decided to be manly and climb what looked like a small rocky outcrop... however it was a lot steeper than it looked and watching them try to get back down was most amusing :)
Lunch was a sarnie while perched on some rocks, looking out to sea. Something so relaxing about watching the waves. Walk carried on up over the headland and we had some good views and even more sunshine.
Back to the apartment so that our chef could start preparing dinner, rather tasty risotto and a "fat" Chardonnay. Evening was spent appreciating the calming view from our apartment, of sea, mountains and clouds. The wind had got up so the waves were crashing into the rocks and looked really dramatic. We have all decided to retire to the seaside when we are old... or Wanaka!
