Collingwood NZ (south island)

The weather hadnt improved much, still raining and very windy! The hostel was fairly nice, small place with a nice feel!
We sort of just hung around all afternoon, had some lunch..read our books, nipped into the little town, looked around the one shop it had and thats about it, just sat watching the rain the rest of the time out of the hostel window!
Next day, even though was wet it was better then the day before so we decided to have a drive down to Fairwell Spit, which is the most northern point of the south island! We walked out as far as we could, it wasnt amazing or anything..quite a depressing feel to it..sort of made us think of the end of the world!! We also walked over to the other side Whataraki beach, it was a lot better at this side, there was sand dunes all over and seals, lots of seals!
Later that evening we took the dog, from the hostel out for a walk...big mistake it nearly dislocated my shoulder, it wouldnt walk with us it kept pulling to go its own way and when we wouldnt go it just sat on the floor, Paul was literally dragging it along to make it come, so yeh didnt offer to do that again!!
