Hokitika

A day to rest our legs. No big hikes. We headed into Hokitika to explore the small town and do some shopping as our supplies had run low. Hokitika is full of shops selling jade which is prevalent in the area. We also found a nice café to have lunch. They sold honey in the café and actually had a bee hive in the store.
