Arthur's Pass
The weather forecast for the weekend was absolutely sunny and beautiful so a road trip seemed appropriate. Little did we know that outside of Canterbury, there were storms all over the west coast and most of the drive was overcast and rainy. Oh well! It was still a beautiful drive and we got to see some extra waterfalls because of the rain.
Beautiful view of the Sourthern Alps as we went through the pass |
I really liked the pink heather growing along the road so I made Brian take a picture of it. Too bad he got bit by sand flies and was itching like crazy for the next two weeks! |
Greymouth
We finally made it to Greymouth where we bought some green stone and walked around the small downtown area. We also went out to the harbor and took some pics in the wind. It was crazy!
Brian was really in to his west side signs in these pictures...lol! |
From this view, the right side of the pier is the ocean and the left side is the river that enters into it. Pretty interesting! |
On the way home, we stopped to look at some really cool rock formations called Castle Rocks. I could've sworn we were in Northern England or Scotland by the looks of it.
