Greymouth

Hello all-
Today we took several "bush" walking (tramps) around the area. We are in a coastal rainforest climate, so lots of very lush vegetation. The ferns and lichens are really neat to see in their native surroundings. We also visited a historic mining area and mom made it across her second suspension bridge. Dave took in a brewery tour (Monteith's), a popular NZ beer. Dave did sample a number of styles, many too his liking! Jan found a nice piece of Greenstone (Jade) that we to be able to have polished and use as a decoration at the house.

Tomorrow we are off to take a guided trek on a glacier.

That's it for now - we are off to walk the beach and to try to catch a sunset
