We had a busy weekend, beautiful weather, good shows and lots of happy people. It really was Greymouth at its best! Unfortunately Mum was sick so no family shows but lots of magic shows.

Sunday night we left the grounds and drove to Fox river through the soft twilight on one of the most beautiful stretches of the west coast road. In the morning we woke to the sound of diggers in action. The workers asked us to move because we were right in their way so we drove to the other side of the road which was also a nice park up. After breakfast we walked to the old bridge going across Fox river. We just happened to get there at the perfect time, in the water there were tens of thousands of little fish flashing silver in the sunlight. It was astonishing! We spent the morning exploring tunnels and caves then sped off to Murchison where Dad sighted in his rifle.

At about nine o’clock at night we arrived at Kina beach. Ahhh! Finally! Kina beach is our peaceful, relaxing spot where we stay every year before the busy, hot north island fairs.

The next three days we spent relaxing, catching up with friends and having fire baths. On Thursday night we went to see the amazing Alice in wonderland ballet and illusion show, with my friend Breeze from the Loop Crew.

Next weekend Nelson!
