Wednesday, 9th January

30 degrees, sunny

We decided to have a lazy day today so headed for the beach as the weather was lovely and there were plenty of lovely beaches to choose from in Golden Bay.  We stopped at Ligar Bay which was very quiet and we could park the motorhome right on the beach side.  The sun is so strong here and after a couple of hours, even with factor 30 sun screen on and a suntan base already, we managed to burn ourselves, so after lunch decided to head to the Wainui Falls as recommended by our Kiwi neighbours from Blenheim.

There was the usual free parking and a lovely 40 minute walk to the falls, crossing our first swing bridge.  There was plenty of water coming over the falls and a few hardy souls swimming in the falls pool, so after a few minutes watching we returned back to the car park and back to the campsite.

On the way back to the camp site there were some great views across Golden Bay as the tide was receding.
