This might have to go down as the best New Years Eve ever…

We drove back out to where we arranged that taxi. It was a cold morning, and I was a little nervous, as I was in shorts and a tshirt with a bathing suit underneath. The boat was a lot of fun, it took us to a few places before dropping people off at the destinations that they had selected. MK picked a place called Anchorage Beach. Most of these places you could only get to by boat, but there were a few that you could hike to, but none with roads. MK ran around and played and as it warmed up I sat on the beach, covered in spf 60 and bug spray, but happy nonetheless. I read a book and listened to music. We were out there the whole afternoon, then MK noticed I was still a little red despite my constant reapplication of the spf60 (not that I minded…) We went to sit in the shade and eat the little dinner I had packed. Out of the sun it was freezing, so I went back out. It was about time for the taxi anyway.

At home, we noticed that MK had forgotten to put sunscreen on his feet, which were fried. I couldn’t stop laughing. We managed to clean up and head out for dinner and drinks for New Years. The town Nelson that we were near had a nice bar that we had a good time at, but they didn’t do a countdown. We had our own. About three times, just to be safe.

The streets were pretty busy and the whole day and night was so amazing.
