Went to Pupu Springs - very tranquil place and you could see the water bubbling up and the gorgeous Quartz coulour of the rocks under the crystal clear water.
Popped into the Mussel Inn for a pint (of cider for me, beer for Nic) and a pie. It was like a proper UK pub with a roaring fire (even though it was sunny!).
Arrived in Collingwood and stayed at another great hostel with a beautiful garden.
On Friday we did another day ride (unloaded and in lots of rain) to Fossil Point, Farewell Spit, Cape Farewell (most northern part of the South Island) and Wharaki beach. We saw lots of seals, some very noisy and smelly.
The sand dunes and patterns in the sand at Wharaki beach were amazing (even in the rain). 
the above is actually an archway blown in the sand about 20cm high!!
We also saw hundreds of black swans bobbing about on the surf.
