Sunday, Rowan & Jenna are keen to go back to the Pelorus.  Going via Blenheim we go to Kmart on the way to get a snorkel for Jenna as she only has a mask.  Much cheaper than the warehouse as you can’t buy a snorkel on it’s own.

This time we went further up river to a place Rowan and I have been to many times.  The river is a lot lower than usual.  We are there until 5pm before we head back and get fish and chips for dinner. Rowan entertained the tourists and locals by walking along in his dungarees with no shirt and no shoes looking like a hillbilly.

Monday, heading towards Blenheim we decide to take a loop towards Port Underwood and back to camp. We went all the way down to Wairau Bar. The seals were sunbathing, shags swimming and people fishing.

It was a really nice drive and surprisingly I have never done it before. At Robin Bay I read my book while they went snorkeling. I also walked through some curious cows to see an old cottage from 1848. Rowan and Jenna got some Paua off the rocks.

Tuesday, I had a lot of social media to catch up on for Eddy. So we didn’t leave the campground till 2pm. We didn’t venture far, just down to Karaka Point in Waikawa. We had a good swim and Rowan did some fishing. He got some mussels, and a much bigger Kahawai. There was a large stingray hanging out on the edge of the rocks. To

Tonight we had a feast of Kai moana. We found some beers someone left behind. There has actually been quite a few goodies people have left here in the free pile. It was a grand feast for our last night in Picton. Jenna asked us if we wanted to travel with her and share expenses and we said YES! Not one to say no to having a bit of fun. We can carry on our walk later. The best thing about being free!
