How's the weekend going folks? Has anyone managed to get away for a bit and enjoy the taste of freedom alert level 2 has given us kiwis? Paul and I are still at home, but hopefully we can get away soooooon!! ⁠ But in the meantime we'll just dream of walking through the beautiful forests of Arthur's Pass 😍 (love that filtered light through the trees ❤️). ⁠ Enjoy the rest of your weekend 😀⁠

Oh Punakaiki 😍 you are so beautiful! Here's a snippet from our blog: It was such a peaceful and relaxed paddle up the river with breath-taking views of the majestic limestone cliffs and lush sub-tropical rain forest. ⁠ There are a few shallow places where we had to get off and carry (in my case drag) our kayaks. Which made for a hilarious time getting on and off the thing! ⁠ Although the water was quite shallow, it moves fast! Needless to say, I ended up in the river several times!

It's not long now NZ and we can get out and explore our beautiful country and support our local businesses 👍⁠ We're really looking forward to a few weekend getaways! ⁠ This photo was taken a while ago when walking the Hooker Valley Track, who else has visited this stunning spot? It's one of my favourtie places 😍⁠

A beautiful way to see New Zealand is to stop off and spend time in some of the smaller townships. One of those is Lake Tekapo!
