Thursday 26 April. Kaiteriteri to Nelson

Someone’s birthday today!  We weren’t going to do anything today but on advice from the unit owners we visited the “Resurgence of the Riwakiu River”.  It’s only a short walk but it’s where the Riwakiu River emerges after working its way down from the top of the mountain through a series of underwater caves. WOW! Everything just dripped in moss and lichen, and the river comes out from under a cliff to a big emerald green pool before it trickles off over more moss covered rocks. Really stunning.You can even cave dive here.
We then headed off to Nelson, via a cute cafe, Mapua smokehouse and then some lovely ‘fesh and chups’ on the wharf in Nelson.  Grabbed some supplies for a baked dinner (I can’t believe we’re eating again) and then headed off to our accommodation.  OMG this place is amazing.  180 degree views across Nelson Bay. Once again Sarah has out done herself.


(thought I should add a comment seeing as David has taken a shine to blogging.  As you can see after only 14 days David has finally succumbed and is now enjoying being a big spender! – he didn’t mention above how we also went to a brewery today and he bought himself a 6 beer taster!!)
Hmmm a hint of hops and licorice?

    You guys aren't going to want to go home, but I can tell Sarah that Carmel and I were discussing how close it was now and sighing with relief! Enjoy those last few days of bliss...
