Today we went to the very top of the South Island, Farewell Spit. Spit in this sense means a long narrow strip of land projecting into the sea and Farewell because it was the last point to say goodbye from when people left the island. It turned out to be much further away than we’d thought but again the scenery was stunning, when you dared take your eyes off the very windy road.
We took the coastal route (Highway 60) out of Nelson and our first stop was Kaiteriteri where we had hot chocolate at a lovely café overlooking the beach. Twenty-five kilometres of bends further on, we had lunch at Takaka Hill where the views over the valley was stunning.
