Okarita Okarita

Stayed on a strange campsite at a beautiful place called Okarita, which had an endless beach of pebbles and a gorgeous tranquil lagoon. The campsite was mainly a place for the bus tours to pull into and had a little sitting room which was a bit bleak.

Loved the environs though. Huge star filled sky. Found things a bit too expensive $40 each for a 2 hour canoe trip...We only had an hour so the choice was made. A bit of a missed opportunity though as I think the bird life would have been spectacular.

Made the typical tourist's mistake of trying to see too much...and spending too much time travelling.
