Over the Haast Pass and on

No time to rest after finishing the hike as we had a long drive ahead of us.

Off to Queenstown (again), Arrortown (again), Wanaka (again) and then branched off over the Haast Pass to the West Coast. Quite a drive all on all - took us about 6 hours. Not easy in a tank!

The coast is not what we expected - really rugged with rainforest clinging to the cliffs down to the Tasman Sea.

Got to Franz Joseph Glacier (it's a town) and checked in to the Rainforest Retreat for the night and a 3 day overdue shower!!
