This is quickly becoming one of our favourite spots in NZ. Walked along to the neighbouring Cathedral cove where we spent most of the day. Unusual rock formations, but didn't look like any Cathedral we'd ever come across - Gaudi's effort in Barcelona at a push I suppose.
Lush place though. More or less deserted too until a coach party tipped up mid-afternoon to spoil the peace.
We'd read there was superb snorkeling at high tide if you could brave the icy waters for more than 5 minutes. Not sure what constitutes 'superb' over here, but all we saw were some pebbles, a bit of seaweed and a solitary mussel.
Shared a couple of bottles of Red in the evening with brummy couple camped next to us. The bloke, John, reminded us of the Harry Enfield character who was "conseeederablay reeecher than yeeow". A carpenter by trade, he'd somehow managed to make a couple of million and left Moseley behind for a 6 bedroom pile in the Cotswolds.
Unfortunately, John was also a big Tommy Cooper fan, so we were 'treated' throughout the session to his take on most of the great man's best one-liners.
It was a long night.
