Aktivitäten in Hokitika

没有和浮木装饰“HOKITIKA”合影，就等于没有到过霍基蒂卡、没有到过南岛西海岸。新西兰旅游局编发的霍基蒂卡旅游宣传册，首页图片就是落日伴着“HOKIDIKA”的相片。从小镇的钟楼向西步行3分钟，穿过一个小门楼，霍基蒂卡海滩就在眼前，呼呼的海风、涛涛的海浪，拍打着黑色的石滩。浮木装饰和旁边不远处的石质绿沙发是海滩上最醒目的物件，游客多时，都自觉地排着队打卡留念。小镇居民对浮木“HOKIDIKA”的偏爱近乎执着，每当大风毁坏了装饰的局部甚至全部，不超过24小时，一定用海滩随处可得的浮木枯枝整修如新。

Why do I give 5 stars for this scenic location? Firstly it’s free, and very closed Hokitika town.

我们选择下午13:15的观鲸船，今天非常幸运，看到了3头座头鲸（humpback whale），还有海豚、海豹等。值得推荐

Good way to see some penguins if you didn’t make any prior arrangements to see more.

My friends and I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Punting On The Avon at the Antigua Boat Sheds, and it was an absolutely excellent outing from start to finish. We were looking for a relaxing group activity, and this completely exceeded our expectations. The scenery and natural environment along the river are stunningly beautiful, making it a perfectly tranquil escape that contributed to a fantastic atmosphere.  Our overall enjoyment was top-tier; gliding along the water while taking in the picturesque sights was both peaceful and incredibly fun to share with friends. Everything was incredibly well-organized, and we all felt that the exceptional service provided outstanding value for money. If you are traveling with a group of friends and looking for a highly rated, memorable experience on the water, we cannot recommend this enough!

临安美术馆，就在吴越文化园里面，里面还有临安博物馆和吴越文化博物馆，美术馆不大，但是布置地还算精致，外围环境非常棒，可以去博物馆的时候顺带参观。

基督城是新西兰南岛的最大城市，依山傍海，坐上缆车可以俯瞰整个城市和海岸线。我们按照朋友发的地址导航过去，结果到了快接近山顶的地方，再继续往上爬一段路，就到了山顶的缆车站。二楼有观景台，还有个咖啡厅。这样只要买下山单程票就行，便宜不少。售票处有个工作人员是华人，她告诉我们还有一个“时光隧道”小车，是介绍新西兰坎特伯雷发展历史的。如果是坐8路公交车到山脚下，那么可以先坐缆车上山，然后再缆车下来，这可能是经典玩法。

我们去的时候正好赶上雨天，到了以后，先被征求意见，天气原因，活动改在室内，可以办理退款，也可以改期。我们没有改期，活动虽然是在室内，羊驼一样可爱，心情同样愉快，活动同样精彩，谢谢店家的曲奇，很美味。

记得飞南岛之前，澳大利亚朋友戏谑“You're going to the ditches”，你们要进山沟啦，或曰，你们要掉坑里啦！当时我还有点不解其意，现在想来，我们走过的多个城镇，要不围着湖要不沿着河，周围大多群山环绕，依山傍水，确实有点掉进夹皮沟里的感觉。可这沟里的景色确实太美了，让人流连忘返，可也不得不返，因为啥啥都贵。
