I digress as usual. Our next destination on this part of the trip was Kaiteriteri (drop the last 'teri' if you are a local) and one of our favourite places on the South Island. We felt quite at home driving through Motueka where we stopped for lunch and a shop at New World for groceries and then up the coast passed all the fruit orchards and lots of hop fields. I can't remember so many of them last time we were here. If you haven't seen any growing before, here you are!
As you can see these photos are already taking on a different look from the last part of my blog. Lots of vibrant colour and that gorgeous aquamarine blue that seems to be the colour of all the water here. And in the lakes in and around our home too.
As usual the sea calls so after quickly unpacking we found our way to the path that leads down to the beach - oh yes, that's more like it.
We walked over the promontory to the other side of the cove where the camping site is, got ourselves an ice cream each and sat and looked at the holiday makers and the sea for the next few hours like proper holiday makers ourselves.
