Boxing Day 2013
Nana's Birthday. The call of nature was strong today, after a busy Christmas Day with family. So Nana and Grandad suggested a drive to the cource. After a short stop in Motueka to buy the cheapest shoes we could find for Sol, we drove around the bottom of the infamous Takaka Hill, up a beautiful valley, finding ourselves among a small crowd of seekers of the source. After a picnic lunch and a leasurely10 minute walk, there it was, a rock with a small cave that had tonnes of water gently flowing from it.
Midsummer, yet ice cold water.
These two brave souls were bribed an ice-cream to go in and under. It took a good 15 minutes to pluck up the courage, as it was cold as ice. Bear Grylls would have been proud.
They did earn their real fruit ice cream, yet were still shivering as they ate it.
Beautiful place.
