April 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stayed less than 24 hours in Cape Foulwind, which is a shame because it\u2019s a really beautiful spot. We left early because we had a three hour drive ahead of us to Motueka<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drive was beautiful, windy and narrow at times with the road built just under carved out mountains. A one lane bridge was nerve racking to cross and a makeshift traffic light controlled the flow of cars, if there were any on the road. Since we left Cape Foulwind we probably saw three cars in either direction. Where was everyone?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An hour into our journey we stopped at NZ\u2019s longest swing bridge, Buller Gorge Swing Bridge<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In retrospect, we probably should\u2019ve kept going. I was not a fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 360 feet long and 62 feet above the Buller River, my dormant fear of heights resurfaced. I only realized this when I was halfway across the swaying bridge and had no choice but to keep going. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
