By MaryThe Kiwis are having a hard time figuring out where Dave and I are from. No one has guessed the United States. Most of the time, they guess Brazil or other parts of South America. This was also the case in Australia. Black people, as you may have guessed, are pretty rare, here, so I am a big hit everywhere we go.
Today we hiked the Abel Tasman, and ended up walking along the coast to Coquille Beach. After the walk we really appreciated the cool blue water of the Tasman Sea, and found a small cove that was perfect for sunning and reading.
The coast of New Zealand is pretty shallow for a long way out. At high tide, the water is knee to waist high for as far out as you care to walk. When the tide goes out, it goes out rapidly, and within 30 minutes the coastline will have grown six or seven times wider. Because of this, it is not uncommon to encounter small boats that are “anchored” on the sand.

Hey guys! I just caught up on your travels. Thanks for the blog. I'll set up the pixs as a slide show later. Good to hear you are doing good, eating well and keeping healthy with a mix of walking, coffee and wine! I'll be sure to check back more often. Happy New Year!!!
