Not least....but Haast


The ride from Hokitika down the coast was stunning. It was about 140 km south to the Franz Joseph Glacier. But since we didn’t feel any need to do a heli-hike, aerial sightseeing, or skydiving- we did a drive by to see the glacier from a distance and continued on our way.

We made a quick stop in Pukekura, the home of the Bushman’s Centre- and the giant sandfly (as well as the Road Kill Café).

We ended the day at Haast, a “town” of sorts- with a tavern, grocery store, café, laundry and motel. After checking out the tavern dinner options, we headed to the café for take-out burgers and went back to our room to have wine, burgers and watch Billy Connelly in NZ.
