We headed north from Greymouth along the West Coast scenic drive toward Punakaiki and Paparoa National Park. Adventures during the day included looking for jade and mudstone on the beach in Barrytown;
saying hi to a Weka and exploring the "Pancake Rocks" in Punakaiki;
and a long afternoon hike along the seemingly prehistoric Pororari River.
At night we learned to weave a few Maori flax items like fish and flowers before heading out to a local cave to see glow worms. The view of the milky way and shooting stars before bed was equally spectacular (the stars felt so close we thought we could touch them).
