Blenheim to Murchison, New Zealand




This is a short post to be filled in tomorrow, as it is late, almost 11 pm, and Mary is asleep.

We left Blenheim and favored the Queen Charlotte Drive along the Marlborough Sound, through Picton, Havelock (famous for the green shell mussel, so of course we ate a big bowl of the chowder...ummmm) and on down to Murchison. We are staying tonight in a B & B, on the Buller River, in a farm setting which is just delightful. Scenic, rustic, comfortable, and great hosts in Shirley and Merv, who are from the UK, and split their time between here and there. We happen to be the only guests tonight and so we had the 5 bedroom home all to ourselves this evening with a fire in the stove...very relaxing and we took a walk through the pasture to the river. See old bossy!! (Not Mary!)

Later,

Jim/Duff/Mary/ML
