This is perhaps one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen...mostly because of the backdrop. Pictured is Mount Cook from Gillespie Beach at dusk. Sarah and I camped here one night because there was a free Department of Conservation campsite. I think it was free because there were sandflies everywhere!!! Sandflies are small little bugs that land on you and suck your blood. They are worse than mosquitoes because it hurts when they bite you. Afterward, you are left with a bite that is very itchy. Ugh. Fortunately, they go away after the sun sets, but they aren't much fun at dinner time. I am happy we are no longer on the West Coast because we don't have to deal with the little buggers anymore.
