We got a Bach in Northwest Bay which is off of Pelorus Sounds up in the Marlborough Sounds. This area is totally off the grid, no power, no cell phone service, no roads. You can only get there by boat.
Jessie made a ham for our Christmas dinner and the rest of the time, we pretty much just hung out in the sun, took a quick dip in the cold waters and went on a few short hikes.
Since there was no road, there were no crowds, just the sounds of the New Zealand native birds.
