Tramping on the Westcoast - Buckland Hut

The next day we hiked back down, pretty amazing forest ...

New Zealand Bush at its best.

Have to watch out that you don't get lost.

Slippery!

Luckily we only had to hike down, wouldn't have been fun to hike up in this rain.

We met this local native, he knew special forest songs which kept us out of trouble! He also made enough noise to keep the big animals away.

Back at the car, we got already used to this procedure. Don't hire with Scotties.

From Westport we drove south along the Westcoast towards Greymouth.

Rough We(s)tcoast.

I think it rains here more than it does in Vancouver.

Our next stop were the Pan Cake Rocks in Punakaiki.

It is a rainy day ...

Some information about the rocks.

more pan cakes ...

Can you see those?

If you look long enough.
