Mermaid seen in New Zealand!

The Abel Tasman national park lies on the north-west corner of South Island, about a hour drive from Nelson:It is an area of unspoilt beauty, wooded mountains and sandy beaches. There are no roads, you either walk or take a water taxi. We took the water taxi to a place called Anchorage Bay, and then walked back to base. But first, there was time to chill out on the beach:

And it while I was slowly falling asleep under the deep blue sky, on this wonderful beach, that I saw a mermaid! Luckily, I managed to snap a quick picture:



Well....... I think it was a mermaid. Not sure of the blue sunhat, though; and I didn't think mermaids wore clothes... Perhaps it was a whale!
