After a breakfast of mushrooms on toast with eggs we headed off for the day. Just a few km north was a town with a waterfall that we had to investigate. A 4km walk to see the coal creek falls and they didn’t disappoint 😃
After the trek we headed north along the coast….such gorgeous views. I think I stopped 8 times to take pictures in the first 20km!!! Eventually I decided we needed to make done distance, so I kept stopping, but for a shorter time!!! 😃😃😃
Finally we arrived in the town of Punakaiki and went for a stroll to check out the pancake rocks and the blowholes - took a lot more pictures here!!! So spectacular- and we were at low tide. We are planning on reversing our path tomorrow, and going earlier so we can see the blowholes at high tide.
After that we went inland to the town of Reefton. The first 50km were next to the gorge, and we still had some amazing views here. I was questioning my plan to come out here, but it was so worth it.
