Wairarapa Summer Adventure - Part 2
On the second day of our road trip, we drove from Lake Ferry north west to the Waiohine Gorge nestled in the Tararua Ranges, and then north east to the beaches of Riversdale and Castlepoint. Waiohine featured a fun swing bridge high above the beautiful river below, while at Castlepoint we walked to the lighthouse and had dinner outdoors overlooking the ocean. Magic!
