Girl’s message in a bottle reaches New Zealand

While on hol­i­day with her grand­par­ents on the north-east coast of Scot­land, Keely Reid tossed a plas­tic water bot­tle into the Moray Firth in the expec­tant hope that the tide might car­ry it as far as the shores of Scan­di­navia. The bot­tle end­ed up trav­el­ling more than 20.000 miles in 47 days to be washed up on the beach of Whanga­ma­ta on the north island of New Zealand.
