Today will be our last kayaking day. We had already done a trip from Kaiteriteri going north to Bark Bay, today it will be from Totaranui going south, again to Bark Bay. The following photo were taken in Awaroa Bay

Looks familiar somehow…

Here we are in the Awaroa Inlet

One of the beaches in Tonga Bay, the photos below are all from Tonga Bay as well

And, of course, a video of today's kayaking

Pohara Beach in the middle of the night (that’s the moon, not the sun)

This was just a few minutes later

This is my go-to camping spot in this area

Glyn found something, on Rangihaeata Beach

Heaps of shells

Tarakohe

Back on Pohara Beach

Absolutely stunning sunrise this morning

Right?

A million dollar view for free

at our secret little camping spot

Glyn feeding a peacock at the Whariki Beach Carpark

“Was that all?”

 

Funny looking thing, but the peacock looks funny too!

Wharariki Rd going west from the carpark

Some lake that doesn’t seem to have a name

Along the track to the westernmost beach at Wharariki

At that beach

Not many people come to this beach







Further to the west again

The west coast

Looking back at Wharariki Beach













 

And of course a little movie

The weather wasn’t great today. We camped just south of Pakawau, and in the afternoon we went to Farewell Spit, where these pictures were taken

Just west of the Ruataniwha Inlet, looking west

We liked the burial ground so much that we had another night there

We took the Moonraker Way to the beach near Split Apple Rock, borrowed someone’s kayak (we asked!) to just get some pictures of the rock from the water

This one boulder has drawn sooo many people to this part of the world, it’s crazy

This is on the same beach, due north of Split Apple Rock

There’s that man again!

And he’s gone again

Ah, these are the kayaks of which we borrowed one

This is the walkway towards Te Waikoropupū Springs

 

The springs the way they should be enjoyed: underwater

Near the Aorere River

]]>

Another day of kayaking, we take the sea shuttle from Kaiteriteri to Bark Bay

Towers Bay

With its famous Split Apple Rock

Continuing north

Sandfly Bay

Falls River

And again

At the southern end of Frenchman Bay

This as well

Around the corner should be the Totara Rocks

Ah, yes, there they are

Torrent Bay again

Beautiful little beach just north of Ballon Rock

Ain’t she a beaut?

It’s so pretty here

The whiteness is almost blinding to the eye

Continuing our way south

Torrent Bay Estuary

Still in the Torrent Bay Estuary

We paddled as far as we could towards Cleopatra’s Pool, which is pretty much here at this foot bridge

A less than 10 minute walk takes us to Cleopatra’s Pool

Not very busy here today

At the western end of the beach at the Anchorage

That man has been following me all day

Abel Tasman, so beautiful it had to be named after a Dutchman

Our next stop is Adele Island

Nice eh?

I need a yacht!

But for now the kayak will do

A map of today’s trip, starting in Kaiteriteri, then a water taxi to Bark Bay and kayaking back to Kaiteriteri

 

And of course a movie

Our ‘campsite’, which turns out to be some old Maori burial site

Kaiteriteri has a great mountain bike park

I love shady ladies!

Looking back at Kaiteriteri

Today the weather isn’t great so we do a bit of sightseeing in Motueka and Kaiteriteri. On the photo the Chanel Arts Centre in Motueka

THE best wicked camper around, although a bit offensive, to ET that is

Kaiteriteri

Little Kaiteriteri

 

Kaiteriteri, always awesome
