Kairterteri

We left the North Island and took the ferry across the Cook Straight to the South Island, to our first stop of Kaiteriteri, where the Abel Tasman National Park is located. Thankfully my friend and I decided to add an extra night in Kaiteriteri so that we would have time to venture the beautiful National Park. The ferry across the Cook Straight was suppose to take 3 hours, it was THE LONGEST FERRY OF MY LIFE! We were on the boat for 6 hours!!!! Double the amount of time it should have taken. We all slept the first half, and were in this delirious, cabin fever state the second half. We spent several more hours on the bus to get to Kaiterteri, 12 hour day traveling today. The second day we said goodbye to most of our friends that we have made along the way, and will catch back up with them later on the tour; and continued into the national park. My friend and I did a 6.7km walk through the beautiful park overlooking the gorgeous turquoise water. I will try and post pictures of the trip, at least the highlights so everyone can see how gorgeous this country is.

Net stop is Westport, surf spot.....

Bye for now<3
