I'm taking a 'rest and research' day today and heading up the coast to Moeraki* where my good friend Annette (who lives three hours North of Dunedin) and I will meet to walk this beach
&
wrap arms around these spectacular boulders.
*Moeraki is a Maori word meaning sleepy sky or sleep by day. South Island legend suggests that these boulders were formed when kumara (sweet potato) brought across the sea on the Arai-te-uru canoe were washed overboard and petrified on the beach.
Ah, down to sand and salt water's edge...
