The day was great. We woke up at 7 o’clock, freezing in our tent. It was really cold last night. We quickly packed our stuff and went further on to Arthurs. Luckily our car has a quite good heating and I quickly forget the freezing night. We was an amazing morning and we took some great photos of the sun rising.

After a breakfast, defending our food from these annoying KEA birds, we went to hiking on the Bearly Spur Hut for about 4 hours. I was a warm day and I felt quite comfortable because of the right clothes and my new black and very warm gloves.

Later on we went to the Devil’s Punch waterfall – 150 meters.

We left the Arthur’ Pass at 15:00 and stay now overnight at Noah’s Ark Backpackers in Greymouth. It is quite cheap and the have a spa here which we tried out some hours ago.
