We stayed in Blenheim bridges ex top 10 campsite for three nights...a good rest!
And....in the same cabin!!!!
We managed to have a wander this time and realised that the property is far larger than we had ever realised, with the riverbank and two terraces for tents, camper vans and camper buses.
The bridge that was proposed three years ago has now been completed, so you have the rail bridge, the old road bridge now for walkers and cyclists, and the new road bridge.
Again, subtle and beautiful patterning on the concrete of the new bridge.
We caught up with old friends and had a little wander around the town. But mostly resting as the thermometer registered 30⁰!
And we saw trains!!!!
Today we are on the Interislander ferry...the Bluebridge is preferable, much better coffee
and friendlier....but we couldn't turn down 15% discount due to our top 10 membership!!
A misty but calm crossing so far, just a metre swell..and we should land in an hour's time.

Interesting about the 2 ferries. Much better weather in Blenheim than here. Heavy rain warning but actually constant drizzle and 20 degrees. I was surprised to see you nearly in the North Island already.
What on earth was the guy doing with the aparatus in the canal/waterway?
Thanks for the photos. I've never seen New Zealand, not likely to ever make it there. It's nice to see that many camping opportunities.
Susan we are in the North Island until 1st of March.
Barbara at the front, those two vertical rods and one across at their bottom have knives along them that are worked backwards and forwards on a ratchet to clear mud and weeds so that the trip boats have free passage.
Stay there until it warms up here - for it is rather chilly!!
