We braved the busy Cathedral Cove walking track, overtaking many a tramping novice in our efforts. The beach was beautiful but too busy for our liking, so we escaped up the road to Otama Beach where the 'person/m2 of sand' ratio was much more to our liking! After snoozing, reading, and several cycles of cooling off in the water and the drying off under the sun, we headed up to Stony Bay for our beautiful and isolated campsite that night. We both even managed to wake up at 2am to take in the absolutely spectacular southern hemisphere night sky.
