the West Coast, and the rain comes down…
Leaving the Abel Tasman park and heading South West through the mountains to the coast, via windy roads through heavy rain and over many one lane bridges which seem to be a popular occurrence here. The ones that are also the railway bridges are fun to cross.
Spent one night at a hostel called Noahs Ark, appropriate with the weather there, and then continued down the coast, stopping to see the pancake rocks along the way to the Franz Joseph glacier.
Now we are waiting out the rain storm in the town below the glacier (that I haven’t seen yet), killing time, drinking some wine etc… Right now it has basically been raining heavily nonstop for almost 2 days with high winds too, the power was flickering on and off this evening. I’ve never seen such sustained heavy rain before! We have decided to wait out the weather which is supposed to clear so we can hike on the glacier before moving on.
