Today, we are staying in Hokitika another night because I
really wanted to see Arthur’s Pass.
I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn’t what I was
expecting. It’s a tiny town at the
top of a pass that is very narrow, curvy, and I expect – dangerous at
times. We took a hike to a couple
of waterfalls – the Devil’s Punchbowls and Bridal Veil Falls. Then we talked to the rangers about
tramping to hut. We headed back
down to Hokitika and went to the Gorge.
Wow! This is amazing. The water is glacial and I haven’t seen
that color water since Alaska. It’s
kind of amazing since it’s so warm here and there is no sign of a glacier –
yet! Afterwards, we headed to the
beach in Hokitika and went looking for jade! Tomorrow, we are heading for the glaciers!
