on to Greymouth

Our road from Punakaiki climbed from the beach, and hugged the side of the mountains above the Tasman Sea. All the way to Greymouth yielded views hard to describe, the rolling breakers creating a constant haze of salt air in the hot summer sun.



On, into Greymouth (terminus of the Christchurch-Greymouth Railway) with a totally busy downtown core, as is plain to see.



And some of the best ice-cream to date, a local flavour labeled hokey-pokey, a delicious blend of blissfully creamy vanilla, studded with honeycomb flakes.- to die for. ‘On the Spot’ catering to all tastes. Goodbye LCBO and Dairy Queen.
