5th Dec 2007 /6.45pm
Arrived at Hokitika chalet after 6 hours of drive from Christchurch.
The sky was still bright and with the beautiful view of Hokitika beach in front of our chalet, Nell & Liz wasted no time - changed, grabbed the beach toys (yes we actually packed the beach toys in our luggage) and off to the soft sandy beach.
The waves from the Tasman sea were wild and rough...so no swimming only sand castle making..or rather mud pie making.
The girls and the old man had a ball of time rushing to the subsiding wave to scoop up some water for the "mud pie" – before the next advancing wave makes its way in again.
The water was so COLD!!!!!! Old man's feet felt pins and needles from the icy water.
As for old lady, as usual, sitting nearby and bossing around.
