The street names are Scottish and it’s rained more today than the rest of the trip put together – it could almost be back home.
I’m in Invercargill, where I arrived at only 4pm, yet have managed to fit in a drink with a star of NZ telly and radio, a visit to the beautiful Mullet Bay, and some kindness from some lovely people. And the kindness of strangers has really been a major theme of this awesome trip.
Mullet Bay was a very scenic spot, and thankfully the weather cleared. I’ve got an early start on my trip back up the east coast tomorrow, though, so will write more about this – and the whole trip – another day.
Suffice to say that I’ve bagged all five of NZ’s mullets, and I will aim for Christchurch or thereabouts tomorrow. If like today I manage to pick up some hitch-hikers, it should be a fun journey.
Yay!! Congratulations on getting them all {:->

Can I get a lift?
Hi Simon! I’m the brand manager/promoter for Southland – cool blog and classy pic! Can you tell me more about the kindness from strangers in Invercargill? Best Wishes!
Hello from Oamaru. Too late Rich, I’m already on my way. No hitch-hikers though.
Gerry – well, they were strangers and they were kind. Can’t say too much as I don’t want to divulge personal information. Thanks for visiting and have fun managing and promoting the Southland brand. Stand by for a post here on that very subject in fact…
