Hokitika




What a pretty little town on the sea. It was Sunday, so it was pretty quiet (yes, people don't work Sunday, shops close at 4:30 on weekdays, all very strange for us). Once gold town, now it is greenstone (jade). They sell a lot of greenstone jewellery and carvings in nz. There are working artists here and so there is a much greater quality of merchandise. Linda did more shopping and I walked the beach. The town clock is neat and there is a Carnegie library! Built 1908.
