A few years after your trip and only doing two nights but really looking forward to it. I smiled at your " picture" of the orange hat. I suspect our clothes may be tested by rain this weekend.<br />Cheers<br /> Wendy<br />Holmesfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11151426485779764748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-3713065888461911022010-04-16T14:04:31.273+12:002010-04-16T14:04:31.273+12:00That first picture is stunning - it captures the f...That first picture is stunning - it captures the feeling of the Kaikoura landscape perfectly.

You could be right about the dehydration because my bottle was nearly full when we arrived as I wasn't thirsty in the colder weather. Normally it is always empty. But the others didn't drink much either. They might not have perspirated as much. <br /><br />Yes I went whale watching too years ago. Wonderful until I was very seasick.Marjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458942200244031009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-69160479001774538162010-04-07T20:53:25.770+12:002010-04-07T20:53:25.770+12:00Hi suzan yes we are very blessed to live here and ...Hi suzan yes we are very blessed to live here and get lots of R&R<br /><br />Bert ik zal het gauw veranderen.

Have a good rain jacket and disposition. It is so cool to read of your exploits and tramp along with you when I cannot. I appreciate your kind words about my place. I miss the mountains more than I can explain and after tommorow can focus on getting back to them.<br /> I wonder if your symptoms were not a bit of dehydration? It is easy, particularly when it is chilly or raining to not drink enough fluid. In any case hope you are on the mend now my friend. Thanks for your support. Kia kaha Marja.<br />Aroha,<br />RobbRuahineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398484733805119294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838644232340959537.post-77594065433551230582010-04-07T14:15:49.636+12:002010-04-07T14:15:49.636+12:00Thanks for sharing your experiences.
