Saturday 17 December Hallelujah!

early morning calm

The sun came out today! It seems such a rare event I had to mention it in the blog. We were going ashore to collect our Fedex parcel which was being delivered this morning and so it felt rude not to enjoy the morning to the full. Coffees and leisurely reading of the Saturday papers at the café while bathing in the warm rays was a must. One never knows when it is due to shine again with the forecast predicting more strong winds and showers for the next two days.

Reading in the paper of the worst floods for ten years hitting Nelson this week it seemed we were meant to stay in Opua for these extra weeks.
