Because of the re-emergence of COVID we set off with great trepidation to Dunedin. No one wore a mask on the afternoon flight from Gisborne to Wellington. The flight was very quiet with no tea or coffee service. It was a beautiful view until we got close to Wellington. We had dinner in the lounge, and on the next leg from Wellington to Dunedin EVERYBODY wore a mask - again, a very full plane.
Not sure - should it be the white side out - or the Blue???
Jill was in the pick-up area to greet us, and Rua's painting was delivered without damage and had very kind and encouraging accolades from Alex.
Friday Morning was fine but icy, so we left with Jill for Kaka Point about 10. It is a very easy drive and the scenery is spectacular, especially when we get to the sea and surf.

The site at 2 Tarata Street is smaller than I thought, and the deck is sheltered at the back of the house, but with glass windows and doors through the house to reveal the sea views. The section is quite challenging.
The beach is glorious, the pub, store and local brewery are a very short walk away. We stop at Balclutha on the return journey for lunch. The cafe is very popular, but Jill is probably the youngest person there, and even she has some grey hairs. When we get back to Dunedin, the painters have arrived to review the job that they will be starting on Monday morning - just zhuzhing up the underused part of the kitchen.
