This morning I awoke and requested eggs. Yes, dear reader, eggs. You may have noticed our own bits and bobs - we did strip Mable of her bits and replace them with ours from Beez, hence the familiarity of equipment. Anyhooo, there was an egg event on the skippers side of the bed. I had to take the pictures really quickly as the camera was fogging up, still a bit of a surprise to breathe out and see the cloud your breath forms first thing in the morning.

Out on the road all seems smooth between the driver and the Wicked Witch, thank heavens.

We went through Ashburton and Winchester.

Today I am pleased to report, that the mountains were ‘further back’.

Very amusing when the main highway was brought to a halt because the cows crossed the road.

Several bridges later............

We found the free parking spot for Mable at Caroline Bay and went for a bimble.

We cut through the underpass and looked across the park.

Back to where we were. Wow, we are on a beach where little penguins come home after dark.

Never seen a penguin crossing sign before.

Nothing for it but to move Mable along the breakwater and wait. I lost badly at backgammon. It was nice to watch the light changing on the wet sand.

Lovely to watch the sunset, waiting for the little chaps.

Too much for some.

We gave up when it got dark.

We watched the activity at the docks for a while, tucked Mable in and retired. Denzel did a good job in the film Flight.
