dune

Hello from Farewell Spit, the northwest corner of the South Island. 

It's a glorious corner of the world. 

Verdant valleys and sheep. 

And huge sand dunes. 

Wharariki Beach is actually on the West Coast, though it's six hours drive from where I stayed before. 

We were looking for seal pups but only saw one. 

Hard to complain when it looks like this. 

Low tide near Farewell Spit. 

Then I came back and took a bush bath near a stream. Not sure where the hot water comes from, but it felt great.
