Today Mom and Dad took me up to the top of one of the hills on the outskirts of Nelson. There was a big sign that explained it was the geographical centre of New Zealand. The views were pretty good too.
Then we walked around town for a bit, including a stop in the Queen’s Gardens where Dad tried to feed me to the ducks. Apparently they don’t eat bear. I wasn’t scared though. I told myself I was bungy jumping. After that, we visited a few shops, had some lunch, and packed up the beach gear into the car. We drove for about 20 minutes and crossed a bridge to an island. I think they called it Rabbit Island, but I didn’t see any rabbits.
I did see lots and lots of sand. There was so much sand that even though there were a lot of people on the beach we had no problem having our own little spot. Mom set me up in one of her sandals for suntanning. Something about I need to have a tan line so I could show my friends when we get back.
Then she went in to play with the waves, jumping over some and riding others. When she came back, Dad took his turn. Meanwhile, I started to get a bit hot, so I moved to the frisbee and then pulled Mom’s hat over my head to get some shade.
It was a pretty neat day, relaxing and people watching, especially when Mom and Dad decided to use the frisbee. At least they moved me to the towel. And I had a great view of them trying to throw it into the wind.
Can’t wait for tomorrow’s adventures!
