TRAVEL SURF TRIP We started making our way to Christchurch, but not before we pulled over mid-afternoon at Gore Bay. The beach was completely deserted - just us, dark sand and gigantic pieces of driftwood. We parked the motorhome, unpacked the outdoor dining table and chairs on the sand, reached for a couple of ice cold beers and our feast of crayfish. In the most beautiful of surrounds, we got to eat, drink, relax and reflect on just how lucky we were to be able to be doing this... All in all, a dining experience that will forever be etched in our memories. Fed and content, the day just faded away after that as we drifted through majestic rural scenes until the sun disappeared. We arrived in Christchurch late that night, oblivious to what the daylight would reveal. “A deserted beach and a feast of fresh crayfish. Does it get any better?” 88 may/jun 2012
