		  	    This trail cuts through the temperate 
				rainforest of Westland, which New Zealanders  sometimes 
				refer to as "Wetland". I know that I have used the word "luck" 
				multiple times in 
				describing my episodes in this 
				country, but you won't hear that  word in a positive way 
				here. I went to Westland twice, and hit three day stretches of 
				rain each time, even though each time the locals assured me the 
				weather had been sunny for the two weeks prior to my arrival. |
