After looking at some sweet seals, we headed over the mountains to the west side of the South Island. High ranges of snow-covered peaks stood between us and our objective.
These are young mountains. Just look at all that rock being pumped down the rivers.
Lots of one-lane rickety bridges in this part of the world.
A mighty river.
We encountered inclement weather going over the pass.
On the other side of the mountains in Greymouth, we found some truly epic food. It was worth the drive.
