Easter Monday 17th April
Well today started in a beautiful way. SUNSHINE.
I had a lovely run along the foreshore at Nelson then we headed to Kaiteriteri via Ruby Bay.
The coastline is very beautiful and we have finally reached a beach with yellow sand. They look so much better. Kaiteriteri has developed considerably since we were there in 2009 although no where near as much as Picton. It is still vey beautiful.
We then headed to Marahau, where we went on a 5km walk through the Abel Tasman National Park ton Tinline Bay and return. It was very beautiful and the track could still be used in a wheel chair, even with all the rain we have had. It was lovely to get out in the fresh air and sunshine.
We then had a 3.5hr drive to our stop for the night at Westport. Again a lovely drive through mountains, farmlands, past rivers and through the gorge. A late arrival today at 7pm.
