We left Kaiteriteri Beach and headed to Canaan Downs for the night. As Jasmine mentioned in her last post, it was in the same area that parts of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit were filmed. On top of Takaka Hill, Canaan Downs is a picturesque meadow 35 minutes down a gravel road through rocky hills and ominous looking forests:
We discovered our clothes were still damp from the last time we had done laundry and decided to hang them out overnight so they would be ready to dry the next morning. Since it is now summer, we did not take into account the elevation in terms of temperature. When we woke up we were quite surprised to find our clothes were frozen stiff.

It didn't take long for things to warm up and once our clothes were dry we were on our way again.
