hokitika nz

We are taking a quick break in this little town. This morning we hiked about 2.5 hours up one river, over the ridge and down another. Then viewed the blowholes at Punakaiki, then had lunch on a beach dodging big breakers. The west side of the south island is not swimming territory. Too many big waves here from the Tasman sea.

We are happy to have dry weather. Apparently they've had 1.5 meters of rain since the first of the year. We do have muddy boots.

The flowers are marvelous. We can't post photos right now, but I've got some great hydrangea and other photos that will get posted eventually. Phone and internet are spotty so don't get worried if you don't hear from us daily. Having fun!
