Cape Foulwind, The Old Slaughterhouse, Oparara Arch, Heapy Track [March 8 - 9]

We had two very busy days on Saturday and Sunday. We drove from Punakaiki to Westport to do grocery shopping and on our way there we visited Cape Foulwind. We had made a booking at a hostel called The Old Slaughter House. We did wonder if we would live to see the day...

Me next to the river that runs through the Oparara Arch.


One of the stalactites in the Oparara Arch.


The color of the river was golden orange-brown. Now we know where beer comes from. Or Coca Cola. :)

The most Southern Palm Forrest in the world. Near the Heapy Track.
