Just a bit more New Zealand

On our way back to Christchurch at the end of our trip we stopped at a beach called Birdling Flats. It was a unique beach because there was no sand but instead rocks and semiprecious stones covering the beach- they were beautiful- I think we went over our weight limit at the airport bringing bags of them back. Definitely not a swimming beach- you would die in the surf. But the sounds of the waves was wonderfully relaxing and we spent hours there.





We dug deep into the stones and found some beautiful ones to bring back with us

If you like to skip rocks- you won't find any as flat and smooth to skip as you will here.

They may look like they are running well but you sank into the rocks and pebbles, definitely worked the leg muscles. And don't even try it with flip-flops on.

Look out, Logan!


Run!
He barely avoided certain death that day.

What a wonderful place!
