We really could feel that we were going North today, the sun shines way hotter and without the steady wind the West Coast is just another paradise :) Soon we’ll be back in Motueka and these last days in the West we’ll get to know the places we’ve never been before, none of us: Westport, Denniston, Karamea, Murchison. After checking in at our prebooked motel we had a look at the local beach which turned out to be in kind of a rebuilt – new paths, heaps of rubble and driftwood, a dense smell of dead sharks. The beach reserve near the Buller River is an ambitious project, good luck with this one, Westport – it would make the city sparkle even more.
