Spent this morning mooching and deciding where to stop tonight.we headed off and spent an uneventful night at Plesant Flat in Haast Pass,long drive today and we both crashed out early,the pass was looking particularly splendid coated in snow,totally beautiful,
wednesday we drove from Haast to Hokitika via Haast beach ,let elvis out for a run and buried a dead fur seal we found at the beach,Got into Hokitika quite late and decided to stay at NZMHA POP,little did we know a raging storm was following us.we made a fire in the shed at the pop and had a cosy night with elvis snuggled up infront of it.Unfortunately the wind was so fierce when we went to bed that we had to move the van at 1am we were being blown around like anything.
Next morning back on the road again after a quick coffee and fudge stop..........YUMMY
We decided to go to nelson via blackball which was a little out of our way but also incorporated Reefton,had a cool day tikitouring and stoppindg to look around blackball which is an unusual place to say the least and the community centre /Holuiday park/most haunted building in NZ was intreguing,LOL.the pub named the Hilton was preety funky too.We finally landed in Nelson about 6pm.It was awesome to see Val again
