South Island Trip Day #9

The morning was beautiful. It started off with a gorgeous sunrise and Starbucks muffins.... yummy. Then we were off to the beach for the day. Well.... it wasn't really a beach, more like lots of rocks that jetted out into the ocean that you could climb on and have fun and not get wet unless you really wanted to. Which we didn't really want to because it was freezing cold. So we walked around on them and sang Beatles songs :)

And apparently, there is a Beatles song for every occasion :)

Then Sarah decided she wanted to almost die. She wanted to climb across the rocks to a bit of beach where her and Becca could swim but she fell while climbing across and almost, positively gave herself a concussion. Scary shit.

After leaving the beach, we decided to head to the Bluff Scenic Reserve to eat some lunch and while there, we met a local man whose mom was the last arranged marriage between the Dunedin and Christchurch Maori tribes. He had been away living in England since he was 17 and this was only his second time being back in all that time!! Talk about crazy!!

Oh and for those of you who don't know, Bluff is the southern most city of New Zealand. It's known for it's oyster industry and for having a playful strait Faveaux.

We then said goodbye to Bluff and headed back to Invercargill for a night with our Starbucks friends. We had a good time and we happy to have met and hung out with some real Kiwi's. Then it was off to bed for the night to continue on our journey early the next day.
