Paddling along.. by maggiemae

Paddling along..

Time is moving on and so must we. This time it was only 60km down the road to this lovely campsite with power, wifi, water, mown grass, a huge river running past. It was so hot when we arrived, I went down to the river, put my feet into the cold water, splashed it all over my head and thought how lucky are we to be able to do this! Absolutely nobody around…until I heard voices! Recognising a flash of red on the blue waters of the river, I raced to get a good shot!

Three good things:
1. Talking german to some neighbours who were using the next bbq, I forgot some words. They were very happy to provide them.
2. Music
3. More music…
Super framing! Looks like fun!

What a great day you had! And to be able to post your picture from a campsite... well, that's the best of both worlds!

@allie912 Campsites nowadays have to be attractive to all sorts of people - and wifi is so important to the young travellers!

What a magnificent picture. Perfect timing to catch them between the trees so well. I love all the vibrant color you have captured too.

@dawnee A place called Longford near Murchison, Dawn - never heard of it and it certainly isn't a Maori name!

@grammyn They were drifting down the river, Katy and I set my camera for the only opening in the forest around me that I could see and just waited. It worked.

@summerfield This was such a remote spot, Vikki - I think I would have preferred to be that 'weird woman that lives in the woods'! Spotted again!
