Day 22 Te Anau to Kaka Point

After another farewell from lovely hosts it was time to depart and leave Te Anau.  Jane & Ross were lovely hosts and their property equally so.

We left with weather quite overcast, cold and rain threatening.  Which it did not long after we hit the road.  Heading towards the south promised for some very chilly and hideous windy times.  We could barely open the car doors to hop out to take any photographs.  Yours truly here is becoming quite adapt with photography through car windows or throwing camera out of the window, so to speak.  Talk about snap & shoot!

Terry was in his element to capture all these old cars before we headed out of town.  And of course he was offered a job to help with the restoration of these fine beauties.  But of course he declined.

Today’s scenery had many changes, especially once we left the exquisite mountain ranges.  The cloud formations were unreal and most of the day I spent cloud gazing and capturing the various moods of the different weather we had.  From rain, wind, dark & dreary to bright and sun filled.  You name it, we had it.

Stopped at Cosy Nook to see quaint little houses and not to mention the most tortured tree formations en-route from the constant wind from the arctic.  Headed to Invercargill and stopped for a quick bite to eat.  Terry actually is having driver fatigue, so we did not make it to the Bluff.  Instead we hiked it along the Southern Scenic route to our destination at Kaka Point on the East Coast.  Beautiful set up and a very private retreat for us to regain our mojo.

Tomorrow we will chill out a bit and just do a short little trip about.  Go to Nugget Point and just a few places in that vicinity.
