The drive from Franz Josef Glacier was a shorter one up the west coast of the South Island. The weather continued to be overcast most of the day.

We checked into the room early and were delighted to have a lovely view of the Tasman Sea.

We headed out with Michael and Patsy for some lunch, stopping at the Pizza Place for lunch, then on for ice cream. Hokitika is know for it's glass blowing and jade, so we stopped at the Hokitika Glass Studio. We bought a glass cat and Michael ordered a Glass Tomato http://www.hokitikaglass.co.nz
I wonder if he has received his tomato?

Having heard that getting dinner reservations "in town" was impossible, we made Valentine's Dinner reservations at the hotel restaurant and we enjoyed our special dinner.

Newly weds Michael and Patsy went out to an intimate dinner at a prior arranged B&B out of town.

After dinner we walked on the beach and enjoyed the beautiful sunset.
It was a lovely Valentine's Day.
Indeed it does look like a lovely spot and gorgeous evening.
