Westport to Hari Hari, NZ: Along the Road on the West Coast
Images from the journey down the West Coast of the South Island...

Our lunch spot after a steady 10 kilometer climb and a thrilling downhill that brought us to sea level. |
Overcast skies, but a classic view nonetheless. |
Caverns found along the way, just outside of Punakaiki. |
Thin-layered limestone known as Pancake Rocks, near Panakaiki. |
The sun came out for five minutes at Pancake Rocks. We didn't see it again for the rest of the day. |
Terns nest on the rock pillars at Pancake rocks. |
We were warned about this dangerous, bike-eating bridge south of Greymouth. |
And appropriately so -- a one-lane bridge that shares space with a railway track. A model of Kiwi efficiency. |
We didn't ask if they were selling the two- or four-legged variety. But we did purchase some very excellent goat cheese to fuel us further down the road. |
Black sand beach at Hokitika. |
The best cycling is through the bush of the national parks and reserves -- like going through a tunnel of green. |
Dinner preparation at our stealth camp south of Hari Hari. |
