Yet another beautiful day, and we set out on the famously picturesque and winding Queen Charlotte Drive, which has been described as “like cruising the Marlborough Sounds without a boat.”
Goodbye to Picton.
In the next bay, Shakespeare Bay, logs were being loaded.
One stunning water view after another.
Pat on the jetty at Grove Arm. The water was so clear!

We stopped at Cullen Point to walk to the lookout, which was actually further from the road than the map suggested…..
