To Takaka Wednesday 10th February.
Devonshire tea at Woolshed Cafe top of Takaka Hill.
View from the top of the very high Takaka Hill.
The Winding Road down.
Pohara Stopover
Pohara Beach
Ligar Bay with a memorial to Abel Tasman also his four seaman who were killed by Maori who were settled in this bay. This was the only landing made. He called this bay Murderers Bay.
Beautiful Tata Beach. Expensive real estate but pristine.
Wainui Falls, The Grove.
OOPS!!!!
We decided to go for a coffee after the falls but the road to the cafe turned into a very bad metal one.I then decided to back to the sealed road but being aware of the corner behind me I tried to avoid oncoming traffic. Unfortunately we ended up in a ditch. Luckily there was a milking shed nearby & the farmer towed us out with his big tractor when he had finished milking. He said that he would enjoy the bottle of wine we gave him & told us that we were probably one of 90 that he had towed out of this ditch.
Oscar takes over the driving.
After my display of driving we decided that even Oscar could do better so we decided to give him a go.
Ok ahead.
Anything behind?
Lets go!!
THE WINDING ROADS 
This is a real adventure, not only for you but for all of us too – fabulous – and looks like you are enjoying good weather too. Sandra x (not sure how I managed to call mine ‘newzealand662’ !!
I did wonder about newzealand662. It took me a moment or two to work out who it was.
I am very pleased that you are enjoying the blog.
Perhaps you won’t need to come out here now – just joking – the photos don’t always do justice to the scenery.
Terry
It looks like you are thoroughly enjoying every minute of your trip. It makes us realise just how much of N.Z. we haven’t seen. Awesome photos. Abel Tasman bought back memories of my Girls trip kayaking there in 2000. Hope you are not tiring Oscar out with all the driving he is doing!!!!
Good to hear from you both. Abel Tasman is outstanding for kayaking.
What a fabulous journey you guys are doing.
