Te Waikoropupu Springs

Pupu Springs, the clearest in the world

As I was leaving Takaka and Golden Bay the sun peeked out from behind the clouds and so my decision was made, I had to go and have a look at Pupu Springs.

You can read a lot about them, but two things spring out: transparent water and peacefulness. In fact the day before I drove up intending on visiting but found the car park to be quite full and decided to give it a miss. As I was driving away I noticed 3 buddhist monks who were going to visit. And now I understand why.
