Punakaiki, Hokitika and a Probable Change of Plans

In miserable weather we set off from Karamea and headed south. All the rivers which the previous day had been trickles running through stone beds were now raging torrents. In hindsight I wish we’d taken pics of some of these torrents but at the time we didn’t want to get soaked.
