Day 9. Punakaiki

So we drove across the country today - from the east to the west coast. It probably would have taken about 4 hours, but we stopped quite a bit along the way. At one point along the drive we saw signs for the Buller Gorge Swing Bridge We walked across the 110 m long bridge and then took the zip line back (like the girl in the picture). They gave us pictures like that on a floppy disk that we will hopefully post soon. Punakaiki is nothing much, it is part of a beautiful coastline though. We had dinner at the tavern, and then shipped out again early the next morning to drive to the glaciers.
