After a dinner of nuts and peanut butter sandwiches we woke to another golden bay day!

As our final destination yesterday was at dusk, and our tummy’s were rumbling the pack up and ship out was fairly prompt – back to Takaka for the first whiff of bacon and eggs we could find!
Street parking the bus and a full cooked breakky in front of us, our travel feet relaxed into a morning of exploring the coastline!

Just out of Takaka road tunnels and

George rocking the Pohara coastline!

A very coromandel like drive around the coastline with holiday settlements culminating in the golden sands of Ligar Bay

New Zealand coastlines never fail to delight! As we had the reverse of the Takaka hill ahead, we u-turned at this point and headed back to the climb! George’s turn at the wheel this time, as we climbed and wound our way over the ranges. Dropping into Motueka for the next coffee and George meal! A leg stretch, a winery visit and a catch up with Uncle Ron for the third coffee of the day.

Now back in camp (Tahunanui) to spend our last night with Brenda and Graeme at the “Speights ale house”. What more could a gal want!
