The drive up the coast is as glorious as ever. There are interesting changes and it would be nice to be able to stop more often. The water has changed from the beautiful blue green close to shore to a murky pale green. It looks as if the rivers are flooding and pouring their silt into the ocean. But many of the rivers are only pools or trickles or have dried up completely. Even the mighty Clarendon looked less feisty than we saw it last.
Tonight we have stopped at Marfell's Beach,a DOC campsite. The sea is rolling in, breaker after breaker, a constant meditative backdrop. It has cooled considerably and clouds are gathering.
