Holiday at Church Bay bach


Barbecues on the deck are part of the New Zealand way of life.


Matthew had a day diving at the Poor Knights Islands.

Pacific Colours! Fabulous! Some of them are so blue they are nearly black!
Professorish question: Is 'bach' originally the Welsh word for 'little'?

Yes, maybe it has to do the with the lack of ozone! The first thing I noticed in NZ was the way the light intensifies the colours.

Bach, I believe is short for bachelor as the simplicity of the holiday house was said to be akin to the simplicity of a bachelor's home.
