We started with a visit to a local beach. Ot was on the South side of the island and looked so pretty with breakerq rolling in.
Of particular interest were graves which were present beside the road. These seem to be mounds of sand which are covered in afghans! In one notable example there were also quilts on the ceiling! A different custom indeed.
We tried to stop at many attractions but found that they were often hidden behind tall grasses and iffy tracks, making them difficult to find. We finally ended up at the blow holes.
These are a remarkable series of hundreds of blow holes along the shore stretching in both directions. The sea would erupt through them giving a wonderful show all along the coast line.
Finally we drove to the Westerly point of the island where we learned that Abel Tasman had landed. The event is marked with a plaque but tsunami damage made it impossible to approach.
