Marlborough Sound

Yesterday we drove all the way from Graymouth to Marlborough Sound. We packed our bags in a water taxi and it took us to the house that we rented. The house has four rooms and it is up on a hill. At the bottom of the hill there is a dock with two kayaks and a small rowboat. The next day we did schoolwork until two. Then dad, Kylie, and I took the row boat and a kayak and went fishing. I tried for a long time without success. Dad also tried for a while without success. We only got lots of bites. Kylie stayed on the shore while we were fishing. She found some really neat shells! We also dug for a type of shell fish called a cockle. Mom and dad had them for dinner in their soup.
