Greymouth, Green Jades, and Glaciers = The West Coast of New Zealand

First stop from Christchurch was Greymouth...at a campsite with a short trail to the beach, falling asleep to waves crashing, just like my childhood.

Green jade stones are a novelty. Nearly everyone purchased something from this shop in Greymouth, to the owner's delight.

Then along the west coast to the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers.

The last bit of coast in the west...

Then through the mountain passes through Lake Wanaka and Lake Hawea. Gorgeous.

After a quick night sleeping under the stars in Cromwell, we arrived in Invercargill, ready for a bed and a non-communal shower.

(I'm loving it here, can't wait to further share what we've been up to!)
