So, it has been a little while since we posted... we've stopped the whole day numbering thing because we're sitting here arguing about what days they all are. :) Anyway, it's still been amazing. In fact, New Zealand keeps getting better every place we go.
When we left Nelson, we headed down the West Coast toward Hokitika. We did LOTS on the way there. First, we stopped at the Buller Gorge, home of New Zealand's longest swing bridge. Basically, that's a long, skinny bridge only wide enough for one person that sort of sways as you walk on it. Brendan wasn't a big fan, but for whatever crazy reason, I really liked it. See Brendan's nauseous face as he exits the swing bridge for the second time. (I kid because I love-- he was actually a real trooper.)
Then there was Punakaiki-- the Pancake Rocks-- which are awesome. It's sort of hard to explain but they are rock formations that look like pancakes which also spout water when the tide is high. Google it... or wait until January 6 for more details.
Next was (big big surprise is coming here) another brewery tour! We went to Monteith's Brewery and had a very extensive tour and a tasting. We got to pour our own beers which was pretty fun because even though we drink excessively, neither of us have ever been bartenders.
