Blenheim

Back at the top of the north and enjoying the sort of weather we have been missing! After leaving Kaikoura we retraced our steps to Hanmer Springs, over the Lewis Pass and back to Murchison.  We had more of the West Coast cold, wet weather but then we had a couple of great days in Nelson and are now at Blenheim. This afternoon we walked around the Wairau Lagoons. We have been here before so the wreck of the boat didn't come as so much of a surprise - but it does seem to be high and dry in a grassy valley until you get up to it and see the channel. This is a wetland area but it was super dry.
