Heading east
Heading east through Havelock.
Stopped for lunch at a nice pub before going along Queen Charlot Drive to find a camp site.
Cherry picking
Picking cherries on the way back west. We also stopped in at a couple of wineries and a brewery. There were so many rows of nice looking cherries that we only managed to move about 20 meters before we were done. It was a 6kg bucket if filled but we decided not to do that. I guessed that we had picked about 620g. Shannon guessed 720g. The right answer (and closest to mine) was 570g. When we got to Westport, we downed the cherries and they were damn good. Oh, and the Rose B (the Rose from the 2nd winery) was also very easy to drink. Oh and the beers from the Moa brewery. The most amazing thing about the day was that the temperature gauge on the car was up to 32 degrees. Actually hotter than Brisbane. I hope that all of the snow isn't melted from the tops of the mountains down south. I want to try out the crampons and ice axe.
Great photos! Looks like it was a fantastic sunny day. The campsite looks perfect. Very pretty spot. And if I can guess correctly, that empty bowl at the pub looks like it might have had chips in it! Yummo!
