Welcome to the west coast of New Zealand, where the true beauty shines!
Today is a first impression of Hokitika, followed by a road trip to the beautiful Hokitika gorge, which has some of the bluest water in the country; after enjoying the beauty of the water, we ventured to Greymouth for the evening sunset, and we probably discovered the fish and chips in town.

Hey guys, when you buy fish & chips you should always poke your finger through the end of the paper so they don’t steam, and when you get to your eating spot they are much crisper ❤

I would say it is a must go place. At the end of the track, it's just like a painting in front of you.

Apart from our amazing country, what makes Aotearoa New Zealand unique is people. You have both done an amazing job showing who we are. Hopefully we recognise our problems, but try to be the best we can be.

@user-rp7lj4tv7x Ай бұрын

Stumpers Bar and Cafe does some great meals, especially their Blue Cod and Chips. Whitebait is a juvenile native fish that is caught in nets as it enters the rivers. It is a local delicacy and very popular. There is a tightly controlled season for catching them.

Whitebait are the young of one of our native fish. They are about 2cm long and caught by net. A hand full are added whole to beaten egg then fried as a fritter. They are a delicacy here in NZ.

The turquoise colour of the water at the Hokitika Gorge is due to the minerals in the rock flour washed down from the glaciers up in the Southern Alps which is relatively close to the gorge. This is the same for the Blue Pools that you visited just before the Haast Pass on the Otago side. I visited both places several years ago. Absolutely spectacular.

That "old railway bridge" you commented on is the old Arahura Bridge. It was one of three bridges that were shared by both cars and trains until fairly recently. This meant that before driving over the bridge you had to be sure that no trains were coming. The last one to be replaced was the Taramakau River Bridge which you would have crossed between Kumara Junction and Camerons as you headed north into Greymouth.

Once again thank you for taking me back to places I used to live. Hoki has come up in the world and I love it. That St Vinnies op shop is where I got hooked on thrifting. It's a great one.
