had another great day weather wise. Went through Arthur's Pass today it is a great place to go through, I have been over the Rockies to the Grand Canyon,dove on the great Barrier Reef and the pass compares to any of those. I guess what make so special is that it is all accessible without a bunch of no go areas or paying to see. The Department of Conservation does a great job, you could go caving in an under ground river or walk for miles hell base jump if that what your into. The roads are typical NZ roads with those damn orange cones but if you take the time to go slow and look around it is a truly great place to spend a day. Just be on the look out for the naughty Kea's they will steal your food, rip the rubber from around your windshield, or try to eat your stuff and if they don't like it they will just destroy it for the hell of it. (Kea- a native bird of NZ like a large parrot with attitude ). Kym never saw one in the wild before and wasn't disappointed, it lived up to its reputation.
we are back on the west coast at a place called South Beach about 100 meters from the Tasman Sea, after dinner we went down to watch the sunset . HOW SWEET ...
