Tuesday 15 March
Usual up and clean and out! First stop the local bakery for lunch supplies, then on towards New Chums Beach – rated as one of the Top 10 Beaches in the world – so we had to check this one out!
You have to cross a stream and a 30 min hike across or rather along the rocky/boulders sea shore at LOW tide, - then across a little hump and down the other side and hey presto – New Chums Beach. Mamabear having fun clambering over the boulders! Like most beaches – very remote – and N O repeat no facilities there at all! Nearest toilet is 30 min back from where you came from! :) Just in case you urm need to be reminded of the ethics of leave nothing behind except footprints etc . . . .We sat in the shade under a pohutukawa tree and enjoyed the air/sea etc and as well as the flora and fauna. Saw one yellow eyed gannet dive-bombing for his lunch!!
MB could have stayed all day and night!! Eventually back via short stop on two more beaches and back to base – quick re-arrangement and chill out then out for Greek dinner – VERY nice!! Post dinner the usual “must walk of the extra pounds gained” on beach walk – 2 km in one direction – 2 km back – all in surf!! Water feeling warm.
Now back in our unit and planning for next day – our last day here! We a r e going to do the 'dip and dine' again!! (yusssss) - something to look forward too!

I took my compression stockings off to urm even up the tan - and sat in the shade - mostly I thought! Even then - I ended up with some colourful red . Sighs
Good for her - she did not fall down!! Eventually she came down to the beach had a look for less then 20 seconds and buggered of. Me thinks she got the wrong priorities . . . . .
We finished the day with the usual evening stroll on the beach. Hmm did we go every day?? Think so
Have fun!
