Guess what? I wasn’t here. I was here:
I know. It sucks to be me. This is the Queen Charlotte Sounds, at the top of the South Island in New Zealand. Mr. T’s grandmother has a bach here (a holiday house, a crib, a shack, whatever your parlance may be) since about the 40s or 50s:
And we decamped with his family for a few weeks, including his ratbag twin nephews, as per below:
If you ever get the chance to go to the Sounds, do so. This particular bay is only accessible by boat, so you’re pretty much stuck doing nothing. I know, it’s terrible. There was wildlife everywhere, particularly wekas and other similarly unafraid ground birds:
I know that’s not a very good photo of the weka, and that’s because if I zoom out a bit you can see The Twinado approaching it at a very high speed:
We had fun. It was a good break. Well, maybe not for that weka.
Seriously – I feel bad writing about this after just commenting on your last post but that last photo re: The Twinado had me laughing outloud and almost spiting my tea onto my computer. Those two look like trouble.
That looks bloody terrible.
Can I help it if envy is petulant?
Not fair! That looks like paradise!
