I love NE coast! It is so dynamic! It is like watching geology happening.
When I was studying geology (in last century Poland) we've been shown outcrops of marine sandstones (or coastal swamps) but we've never visited respective modern environments. Now I see how important it is!

Happy International Woman's Day!

I know you cannot recognise it, but in the first picture it is Cinthya and me, literally shading light on speleoscience in the Waipuna Cave!

The Old Boathouse is often full on sunny weekends but their second restaurant, Fish Shack, just 300 m away is great too!
And honestly, you cannot get bad fish in Amble!!! πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹

We did not plan any fieldwork, but there will be some networking, lab visits and a lot of discussions!
And of course - a lot of exciting walkies! 🐾πŸ₯ΎπŸ₯ΎπŸ™‚

It is not a small feat for us living in NE. Only five sites participate in the action here. But we love travel and discovering new places and new sniffs!
We look forward to this years Pooch Passport already! 🐾πŸ₯ΎπŸ₯ΎπŸ™‚

As always you give me too much credit! Our coast is amazing and Pebble is a handsome pup - a recipe for a good photo even without a talent!
