Ok, so our travel itinerary may seem crazy, but from Kaikoura we headed via the Lewis Pass to the West Coast. We drove up to a place north of Karamea, which is actually in Kahurangi National Park and is one of the ends of the Heaphy Track. It was a beautiful place, we camped right on the ocean. The waves were crashing like crazy into the rocks, the West Coast is crazy.

Lookout over our campground. Jared and I parked right on the ocean.
Nikau (palm trees)
We also did a walk where we saw lots of beautiful native bush, palm trees and a great lookout.
In the same day we drove 10 km south to the Oparara Arches. These are a bunch of arches deep in native bush formed by thousands of years, water and limestone. We just spent the whole day on a nature walk, checking out the arches and climbing into caves.

Until Next Time!
