Camping near Golden Bay for a couple of days with a view to completing a short section of the Abel Tasman Track. We are reserving judgement on this ... The countryside thus far is not particularly inspiring - I'm beginning to yearn for the mountains!
Drove into Takaka before dinner ... A mini-Glastonbury ... New Age, Hippy type shops, lots of crusties/white Rastas etc. Had a beer in the Roots Bar which had a decent range of 'handcrafted' beers (aka overpriced home brew 😜), and an exquisite range of poseurs. I must admit to feeling a bit vinegary this evening ... Apologies to my more pH balanced readers.
Tomorrow night promised "an evening of the original reggae vinyl". Some less charitable than your Chief Correspondent might maintain that the words " and occasionally misogynistic and homophobic" had been omitted after the word "original" ...
Some funky little shops, however .... Here's a bike shop ...
.... And a roots campervan. The van was chock full of 'stuff' - I've never seen such a wonderful hoard of apparently randomly distributed possessions; archaeologists would be gainfully employed for some time as they excavated down into lower reaches of the van's history and ecosystem!
