Tuesday 24 April. Cape Foulwind to Kaiteriteri


Today we headed off to Kaiteriteri, near Abel Tasman National Park.  On the way we dropped in on a lighthouse on the closest point to Australia, a seal colony and New Zealand’s longest swing bridge over the Buller Gorge.
Once again the scenery on the way was spectacular (no I’m not on a retainer from New Zealand Tourism). Couldn’t believe how much the swinging bridge was “swinging” as we made our way over, especially with the boys jumping up and down!  After a short walk which included some old gold field relics and a major fault line we decided to head back over the bridge.  However I thought it would be better if we sent the boys over a different way, so they were lucky enough for their father to shout them a ride on a flying fox.  They even managed to get a video at the end!

On arrival at Kaiteriteri no one was home so we let ourselves in, which was lucky as the unit owners werent expecting us till tomorrow!  This place is huge and is only a stones throw from the beach.  The hallway is about half the size of our house, the boys even had their own room and then there’s the view.
Our digs for the night..
