Wild West

And there it was: Sunshine on NZ' Westcoast. A rare natural wonder. So the roadtrip continued to the city of Westport and further on north again to Karamea and the start of the Heapy track. The Heaphy track is one of NZ great walks, with its start and end about 600km per car apart.

I was quite happy with just a day trip on the coastal part of the track, but even with a good weather forecast and probably sunshine in whole NZ, we experienced "some" rain.

The rest of the West was actually really nice, except for a shitload of sandflies nearly everywhere. Those bastards bite without warning...

Here we have a Westcoast's traffic jam:

Dogs driving cars:

The famous pancake rocks (thousands of tourists included):

Evolutional education in Hokitika:

Well, creepy art:

The Franz Josef and Fox glacier:

The blue pools on the Haast Highway.. (again, thousands of tourists)
