The Southern Scenic Route

'Not to be missed' said the guidebook, and we're glad we listened.  The road less traveled...more amazing scenery (I know...it's getting tedious), tiny towns, walk thru the Redcliff wetlands...man-made to re-establish lost habitat... heritage suspension bridge (not the first one we've seen and still cool), famous fish n chips in Riverton while looking out to the sea. 

Made it to the southernmost point on New Zealand's mainland (save Stewart Island for next trip?). Walk thru a farmer's sheep pasture (certainly seen enough of these guys this trip!). Howling wind, no fences on these cliffs!

Stay nite at Tokanui. Tiny but welcoming with great views of the Catlin hills at our Airbnb. Read more
