We drove up the wet coast - oh did I mean west coast? - no.  The weather was as predicted and we saw lots of waterfalls.  Then when we got to Greymouth we drove into blue sky and hot weather!

So today we cycled a bit of the West Coast Wilderness Trail - from near Kumera to back into Greymouth.  Then we took the bus to Kumera too, ready for Malcolm to ride the next section tomorrow.  Today's ride was by the ocean, this next is through bush and by lakes.  We can't take the bus to pick up the car tomorrow so I'll be dropping him off and doing something else for a few hours.

We went to Lake Brunner in the afternoon.  The drive was through bush on a narrow road and the lake was stunning.

It is very hot here - been 35 degrees this evening in the bus with windows open!
