December 19th and 20th

---

On the 19th it was rainy so we didn't do much. We left for Westport on the 20th stoping at Nelson Lakes National park on the way. It was rainy so most of the pictures look neat because the foggy mist was covering the mountians. We checked in at a place in Westport and then headed up to Karamea to go lok at some caves and limestone arches along the river. We knew that there was no gas along the way but there was a gas staion in Karamea so we figured we would be Ok because we had enough gas to make it there. Little did we know that the gas station closed at noon so we ended up being stuck there and having to stay at some crappy hostle up there. We now know to fill up with gas befor heading into the unknown.

Tunnel along the way.
The tunnel took 2 year to carve out by hand.
