Mistletoe Bay in the Queen Charlotte Sound

This year my extended family went to Mistletoe Bay in the Queen Charlotte Sound for our two yearly Christmas holiday get together.  I hadn't been there for years.  When I was a child I went there several times for Cub camps.  Back then there was only the old farm house, which the adults stayed in and a bunk house, which all the cubs stayed in.  The old house has gone now and there is a very nice camping ground and several cabins.  It is a beautiful place. 

 The bay at low tide and the busy jetty - popular for swimming and spotting sting rays, there are plenty.

 After Mistletoe Bay we walked a small section of the Queen Charlotte Track, from Furneaux Lodge to Punga Cove, staying a night at each place.



 On the ferry back to Wellington.  It was very windy in Cook Strait that day.
