Pelorus BridgeAnother week has passed and we are enjoying every second. We started making our way along the north shores of the south island. We made a first stop at a pictouresque little creek at Pelorus Bridge. You can really sense that the tourist season is dying out, and most of the more remote campsites are empty. After Pelorus we left for Marahau where we embarked on a 20 km trek in the Abel Tasman National Park. We took a taxi boat to Bark Bay, and walked back to base camp - the Old MacDonald Farm.
As our legs were resting we spent a day in the Marlborough wine region, enjoying some of the finest white wines New Zealand has to offer. We ment to do this wine tour by bike but it was raining so we took to the comfort of our car.
Now we are on the east coast, in Kaikoura. Yesterday we went to a sheep shearing show, feeding some old ram and watching the sheep shearer at work. The sun is shining and the mountains are no longer covered by clouds. Beautiful!
