We finally made it to the west coast. Another beautiful drive through winding roads mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. We made a few stops along the way to Hokitika; a couple of small hikes and Fox Glacier for lunch, we didn’t stay long here as we were ready to be done driving. Once we got to Hokitika, we met Uncle Wayne’s friend Oly. He is from Jackson, Wy and has visited NZ over 20 times. The first full day in Hokitika we went canoeing and went to the beach. The beach there was full of driftwood and they just had a driftwood art competition on the beach. We think the Hokitika one stays up year round.






These are amazing pics, I’m so jealous and so happy that you guys can have this kind of experience!!!
