Kaiteriteri and Abel Tasman Park

Stopping for lunch,  we came across a collection of Austin Healey vintage cars which had stopped at the same rest area.  They were part of the Austin Healey Owners club who were on a tour of the South Island. Lovely cars. 

We also travelled through Buller Gorge on our way.  This was beautiful, despite the fact that it was raining and fairly misty.

We reached Kaiteriteri via some very windy roads,  so it took a while. What a lovely bay! The holiday park was just across the road,  so we parked up and walked up and down the beach,  paddling in the warm sea.  Lots of mussels on the rocks.  The beach was golden sand. 

The kitchens at the site were fine,  so we cooked and ate the evening meal - steak again - and went to bed as it was getting late.

Next morning we drove to the edge of the park and walked to 'Stu's Lookout'. Very scenic views. Returning to Kaiteriteri,  we hired a dual kayak and rowed around the bay for a while.  It was fun.
