After a few grey days in Rolleston we decided to head over to the West Coast and sunshine. We had intended to stop somewhere along the way, but Graham was keen to get Arthur’s Pass over and done with. It was the first steep descent in a motor home since the 5th Wheel’s brakes failed on the Lewis Pass. Frieda handled it no problem.
It was good that we were able to follow a very slow truck down, as there was no pressure to go faster. There was snow around, and quite a few people had stopped to make snowmen or throw snow balls.
Hokitika was stunning. The temperature ranged from 6 to 14, with no wind.
We enjoyed the deck and lit the fire in the clubhouse a couple of nights.
One other couple joined us for a while, Doug and Jo from Rolleston! And one of the few other campers, June from Tauranga gave us a huge avocado. She said they picked them all before leaving home and were getting sick of them.
