Hello South Island

Today we woke early to catch the Interislander Cook Strait Ferry to the South Island, it took 3 hours and is dubbed one of the most "beautiful ferry rides in the world" (although as we were pretty tired, we came across some recliner chairs and had a bit of a nap). When we arrived in the South Island we drove down little windy roads on the mountain until we arrived at the seaside resort of Kaiteriteri. We arrived in the evening but even as the sun was setting we noticed that the sand was astonishingly gold!
We didn't take many photos today but we spotted this enchanting rainbow in the distance.
