So we stayed in Takaka for the night; I was getting quite used to washing in rivers-bloody cold though. We satyed here as this was the enarest settlement to the famous Wairupupu springs; apparently the clearest in the world. Unfortunately for us (due to the spread of snot like didymo virus brought from Japan) you were no longer allowed to dive or swim in the springs. You can still walk around them which was nice, and was something to do before our long drive back over the hills to Kaitieritiri beach.
