Once you accept that everything, including your food will be covered in sand, camping on the beach is fantastic. Sleeping under the stars, listening to the ocean waves and watching the sun rise over the water is a magical experience.
There are 28 sheep to every one person in New Zealand, according to Toby, a German guy we met while camping at Cape Reigna. He was the copilot of the Barack Mobile – a van completely covered with a painting of Barack Obama and his slogan “Yes We Can.” Now we have adopted Mr. Obama's campaign line as our trip motto. “Can we drive down the 90-mile beach?” (the beach is a registered highway, but you have to make sure you only drive during low-tide.) “Yes we can!”

Hi Jeanna! It sounds like you are having the adventures of a life time! Will posted your blog to my facebook and then I remembered our brief encounter in the health food store in Mount Vernon. Anyway, I have just read through your posts and am enjoying every bit of your adventure.
ReplyDeleteIf you get a second, check out the blog I'm writing for; it's a travel blog specifically dedicated to documenting women's travel experiences. Let me know if you are interested in writing a 'column' and linking your blog from the go girl page.
