Woke up to a bit of rain. The weather is definitely turning. We camped up near the bridge last night after watching the Aurora. We head back to the beach to swim with the dolphins. It is pretty early and they appear to be more interested in eating than playing around us. We still get to watch them which is pretty cool. Today we head out of the West Coast towards Central Otago.

We have a bit of food at Roaring Billy before continuing along the Haast Pass. The weather is very atmospheric.

We go up Wilson’s Creek to look at the canyon. There is so many cars and people here compared to when we came last time when there was no one here. I bet if we come back in a year there will be proper car parks.

We ended up staying on the Makarora River where we have been a few times now. It was a very cold swim and absolutely beautiful.
