Traveling to the West Coast of the South Island






We left the East Coast of the South Island today and moved to the West Coast.  We traveled through the mountains with a quick stop in Hanmer Springs for a dip in the natural hot spring pools, and  then down the coast ending in Punakaiki.  We unpacked into our cabins which resemble treehouses and then took a hike to the beach.







 We were at the beach at sunset and the girls had a great time looking through the different stones that made up the beach and exploring the rock formations.














  The West Coast is so different from the East Coast- it’s astonishing!  Marina is preparing an amazing meal for the girls then we’re off to bed early – big day hiking, kayaking, and horseback riding tomorrow!
