Westland weather

We woke up this morning in what felt more like a lake than the tent we usually sleep in. It has been pouring down like crazy all night and still is actually. We thought we were lucky enough to miss the worst of the so famous Westland weather, but today we were caught in the middle of it. The massive rainstorm made it impossible for us to even try to cook our traditional oatmeal brekkie. We had to leave immediately. All day, it's been raining and hailing horizontally due to the 40+ km/h northwesterlies. It was some very exhausting 60km to get to Hokitika. I now know not to underestimate the NZ weather because it can be devastating.

Anyway, soaked as we were we managed to find ourselves a hostel for the night, where we are going to celebrate our 3 months away from home by cooking some good food and watch an awful lot of movies! I sincerely hope that the following days will have some nicer weather in store for us, but what can you really do about it.
