Kaiteriteri Bound

We are excited to start exploring the beauty of the South Island, so on Tuesday morning after breakfast William points the car toward the town of Kaiteriteri, a gateway town to Abel Tasman National Park.  We pass vineyards, orchards, ranches and shoreline between the small towns on our route.

When we arrive in Kaiteriteri we find a beautiful beach.  In addition to the swimmers/sunbathers people are kayaking and some boaters have anchored for lunch. We enjoy the beach for a little while then decide to continue driving toward the park.  The road twists and turns through the forested mountainside, getting so narrow that I could touch the cliffs out the passenger window if I wanted.  The pine trees give a wonderful scent to the air.  We eventually find Sandy-Bay Road which returns us to Highway 60 below Kaiteriteri.

Heading back toward Nelson we take a slight detour in Tasman, stopping first to see the Moutere Inlet then making a stop at Kona Cliffs Winery.  It's a small family run vineyard and winery producing <800 cases a year.  I do a tasting while William takes some photo's.  I put the wines in the "drinkable" category.  I've tasted much better in our travels.

Further down the road we come upon Ruby Bay.  What a difference in beaches from what we saw in Kaiteriteri.  Rather than powdery sand the beach here is all smoothed rocks.  We walk for a while the resume our trip back to Nelson.  It's been a fun day of exploring.
