Breathtaking
Side Trip, part 2

A beautiful weekend to enjoy a one-hour side trip to Cape Palliser, New Zealand's southern-most point on the North Island.  Driving through the fabulous countryside, stopping at the Lake Ferry Hotel for New Zealand's best fish & chips and of course, checking out a few wineries!

Stunning wildflowers along the Cape Palliser coast . . .
. . . too gorgeous for words!

Over 250 steps to reach the lighthouse!
Cape Palliser lighthouse, still in use via computer in Wellington.  It's light can be seen 30 miles away.
