Been busy week carried on up the west coast. Visited the pancake rocks and then headed inland from greymouth. We had a great day relaxing in hamner springs. Not surprisingly the main attraction was the natural spa and mineral pools, which we spent hours laying in! All different temperatures and smells! The sulphur pools really smelt, made you feel like you were in a saucepan with boiling eggs!! now on the east coast.Stayed last night in kaikoura a beautiful coastal town.didn't do whale watching tour as expensive but saw alot of seals,getting within metres of the colonies. Will be getting the ferry to the north island in next few days
