New Zealand (post 2)

Now pictures from the three day visit to the west coast. We stopped in Greymouth the first night then drove north up the coast to Westport where we stayed the night in this wonderful hotel in Cape Fowlwind and ate at a really nice restaurant called Yellowhouse (owned by a woman from the US who makes everything from scratch... very refreshing). We then made our way back to Christchurch and unfortunately, while stopping to admire a nice suspension bridge, the starter for the car stopped working. Once we get the car running, we didn't stop again on the drive back to Christchurch (so no more scenic mountain pictures). Overall the trip was wonderful and I definitely look forward to going back (hopefully in warmer weather)!
