Introduction

As a wearer in the Masterworks Broach of the Month Club 2010, Jo Mears and partner/BOM maker Sharon felt obliged to take Ross Malcolm's brooch 'In the Pink' on tour with them as they set out on a three week adventure with sixty other kombis around the South Island of New Zealand to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Volkswagen Type II in New Zealand.

The last official day of the tour

Fox Glacier to Hokitika
After a fun evening sharing the love and teaching people to hug, joey was a bit hung over today so didnt take many photos. It was cold and drizzley so we couldnt be bothered stopping anywhere and drove straight to Hokitika. Gorgeous scenery on the way again with some massive hills to climb and heaps of one way bridges.

Hokitika is at the intersection of a huge river and the Tasman Sea. Carol and her parents rented a bach by the sea so we visited them for a while and had fish and chips for lunch.  The beach was really wild and had heaps of driftwood and round rocks in the sand - a flotsum and jetsum collectors dream land.
As it was the official last day of the tour today we had dinner at the Hokitika Boys Brigade Hall and had a bit of a prizegiving.  Harriet won a bottle top to put in her pocket.
 
Joey won a party animal medal for her antics the night before which Wilson adorned
Busbus won the prize for the longest distance travelled beating the girls from Silverdale by 7 kilometres.
