Diary for Debbie does...round the world


The day of rain West Coast style

2018-04-08

So as predicted the rain started in the night and hammered down through to about 1530 when it turned to a fine drizzle. Spent the day cozy and warm watching downloaded programmes on the laptop and reading - at times outside in the porch shelter. A few looks from people leaving the camp ground - would have been miserable for them. As it looked like the rain had stopped and the drizzle had set in I went for a wander up the far end of Okariti Beach - the bit you would walk back on fro the Okarito track. Wandered for about an hour. A dad and his kids also out and about building things on the beach. They talk about doing it at low tide and right about that as I got to a point where I would need to climb over rocks to get any further. Drizzle continued so got a bit damp but all good. Then back to the cottage for the evening to warm up and settle in for the evening.
