We start from the pounding surf of the wild West coast on the Tasman sea and end in the high alps with their tumbling glaciers. Rainforest, pancake rocks of some game and then to hokitika,a former boomtown during the gold rush. Also a jade area. Finishing in Franz Joseph.

Beautiful morning surf. No surfers in the early am.

Walk through a semi temperate rain forest, very pleasant because few bugs due to the lack of mammals.

Special BBQ lunch, kiwi style was arranged. Lamb and salad, bbq was thankfully sauce free.
