Westport - Tripinn...Westport - Tripinn...Westport - Tripinn...

Our chance to rest up for a few days....
At last we have found some acommodation.
"The Tripinn" at Westport.
And joy joy NO SANDFLIES

A lovely place to stay, staff were great and they had cheapish internet.
We were able to catch up on a few of our blogs, as well as the mountain of washing we had amassed.

After 3 days we were refreshed and ready to go again.

Our first stop "Buller Gorge".

The longest swing bridge in New Zealand!
It was a doddle to cross - But we had been practising on smaller ones before this.

Then the "Jet Boat" ride.
An awesome 40 minutes of adrenalin rush.

Then it was the flying fox back across the bullar gorge.
An action packed day and we enjoyed every minute....

The following day we did a bit of whale watching (yet again)
But like before, they were either hiding or not in the area..
