When your only worry is whether the tide is going to reach your chair you know you're in a good place.
It was another stunning day and fortunately I didn't have work. One of the many perks of being a relief teacher is sometimes you're able to enjoy days off during the week.
Oakly, Boo and I jumped in the bus to find a beach. Not wanting to travel too far from home (Nelson), we parked along Motueka's foreshore and took a wander..
The water was bath-like and the dogs alternated between exploring and cooling off in the water.
Motueka provides walkers with several seats along the foreshore with million dollar views. If you're walking your dog/s, the council has provided doggy bag dispensers. And unlike some other towns, there are numerous rubbish bins to deposit the deposits!
It would be easy to while away time, sitting here. To the right you look over the bay to the Kina Beach cliffs. And on the left is the Janie Seddon shipwreck.
Oh, what a fabulous spot to watch a sunrise.
On our way home we called in to Kina Reserve. Not far from the bus was a fallen tree - it made the perfect seat to soak up the gorgeous ocean views.
The dogs weren't too keen for another walk, so I turned the fan on and before long they were napping under a cool breeze.

It seems even seagulls feel sleepy on hot days! This little guy never moved as I walked passed.
It's nice having such lovely places on our doorstep to visit.
Beautiful.. lovely scenery. Thank you for sharing. All the devastation in NZ after the much advertised Cyclone Tracy, made me sit here and soak in the untouched beauty of our little Country. We travel, also with two dogs, and never become bored with all there is to see.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your message Carol. I agree with you, we certainly live in a gorgeous country. My dogs are a great incentive to get out and about (weather permitting), and while they love checking out new places, I also get a kick out of it. Sometimes it can be the little things that are a highlight; wildflowers, insects, birds, clouds, etc
DeleteLove reading yr blog. We travel in our dog's motorized kennel whenever we can. Hoping to get back down to the South Island next year after our last trip being interrupted by covid. Keep us updated
ReplyDeleteLOL, 'You travel in your dog's motorised kennel', I love that! We do exactly the same, it's all about the dogs! Thanks for your lovely message. Hope to see you down South in 2024.
