Rivers & oceans

We left our very great hosts in Rotorua to drive South to Wellington, where we caught a 3/4 hour plane ride to Christchurch. Before we left, Jeff told us about a hot springs along our way. We found it and found a little slice of heaven. The unmarked trail leed us to a small stream that was about 101 degrees. Perfect for a spa bath. This experience was so much better than any spa.


Miranda found some therapeudic mud. The same mud they want $4 a tiny pkg for in the stores. We put it all over and when we wahed it off we felt all soft and smooth. Mmmm it was so nice.
We stayed an hour North of Wellington for the night in a nice little hotel. In the morning we went to a nearby beach to do some beachcombing. We found lots of unique shells, a few dead baby sharks and washed up coral. Very cool.

As it is Fall here. The water was too cool to swim in and the temp. was pants weather and breezy. But we had a great time anyway.
