An early start.





Being out of season made me share Pupu Springs with birds only.



I am not sure how it is possible to measure a sight distance of 63m in water. Simply couldn’t find a point allowing a distance of 63m. But without any question the water is crystal clear. Impressive clear.

Hitting the road to the West Coast. Westport.



At first crossing over Takaka Hill again. It would be a full grown pass in our terms.



On a side road Police is watching heavy weights to prevent them from escaping.



Impressive alley along the road near the Woodstock farm.




Getting back into mountains compared to hills earlier today.





Close to Westport, the Buller River in Lower Buller Gorge.
