Summer at St Clair

Another beautiful day by the beach began with breakfast on the balcony, then a walk on the beach.

Then, back to the balcony with sandy feet.

A drive past the bays on the peninsula was sublime on this gorgeous day. Taiaroa Head and the Royal Albatross Centre was a marvel, with nesting albatross visible on the hillsides and, suddenly, the appearance of albatrosses gliding across the sky. They were hard to photograph, but I did snap horned brown merino sheep under a pōhutukawa.

Later, I caught up with friends – with chooks.

A barbecue completed another perfect day with the newlyweds and family, four dogs and a cat.
