I must be a very lucky man to have my girlfriend not only put up with me but find out exactly what I’d always like to try and then book it for my birthday present. So on Friday morning, without any idea where we were going or what we were to do when we arrived, we drove along the water up to a beautiful place near Port Chalmers. Arriving at Hare Hill it was obvious why we were there, the horses gave that away. Oliver, the owner, is a really lucky man to live where he does and be able to go riding on the beach like we did. Definitely as good as I thought, even with the saddle sores and cold weather.
Unbeknown to me Bhav had also planned a weekend away to Lake Tekapo taking in Twizel and Mt Cook (the highest mountain in NZ), truly spectacular scenery.
