After our Hokitika adventures, we decided to have a great American family vacation in Greymouth. “Mom and Dad” took me to Shantytown, a historic NZ theme park, and the Monteith’s Brewery downtown.

After we got off the (horrible, very bad, no good) (Kara says: amazing, fun) Copland Track, we drove straight to Hokitika! I had been excited to visit Hokitika since Christmas at Duvauchelle, when I started researching jade a bit more and realized that Hokitika is the city for it. Hokitika was a really excellent place in which to spend some time. It was nice to be in a (slightly) larger city after so many tramping-filled days, and we got to do a bit of fun shopping. Our first night there, though, we just relaxed! We got some food, we got some showers, and we went to bed pretty early. We did have one fun and kind of surreal experience-- as we walked to get groceries that evening, we stumbled on a tiny marching band in a completely empty street, playing away. So random! Minorly creepy! A nice welcome to town. |
