Oh we never saw any penguins, and I was looking too.

 



A cloudy day on the west coast. It did not rain and the ride to Greymouth was quick.

 



This is what happens to a tire when the brake pad rubs on the tire, I had to buy a new one in Greymouth.

 



Cindie working on the computer, at the railroad station in Greymouth, yes they had wifi.

 



A lonely dirt road in New Zealand.

 



Hokitika.

 



Cindie crossing the river on a pedestrian bridge.
