Ross, Day 2

This morning we woke up to overcast skies threatening rain. We drove into Hokitika for breakfast. Hokitika is about twenty miles north of Ross where we are staying. It’s the nearest town that has restaurants. This area was a big gold rush and gold mining area.

On our way back from breakfast we stopped at a couple of gold mining historical sites.

This area is called Rimu. It saw New Zealand’s last Gold Rush, which started in 1882.
I got a good laugh out of this story.

This afternoon we went for another long walk on the beach. This time we headed south.

For dinner we had New Zealand cheese, salmon and wine. We ate it at the table in our room. It was yummy!

  1. I’m currently reading Land by Maggie Ferrell. Highly recommend it. I’m sure you’ve been to Ireland. Lori. PS. I’m Jo Ann’s bridge and book club friend who lives in Anthon and wants to travel with you. I’ve read the Hobbit nearly 100 times.
