New Zealand 71 They were so weary

 It was a very romantic setting and I was thrilled when the ranger showed up around 6pm to let us know that only one other couple was booked for the night and they weren't there yet.... ...Matt and I ate quickly and began playing cards in front of the fire by candlelight when the other couple literally drug themselves in around half 7. They were so weary; apparently they walked all the way from Bark Bay but had to wait until 3pm for low tide at Awaroa (the crossing we had made this morning).
