Haastalavista Baby

We got some pretty good views of Fox Glacier from afar this morning as we ate our burnt toast (damn grill) and then took a stroll around Lake Matherson. On a calm day, you can see the reflection of Mount Cook in the Lake but luck would have it that there was a bit of a breeze today so no reflection.

With feet itching, we got in the car to make a start on our next big venue - Queenstown - Adrenaline Capital of the South. We're not gonna get there for a few days yet but we chose Haast as the next town to stop at.

...And we thought Dargaville was bad!

I don't think I need to say much more than:

Shop count: 1
Signal on mobile phone: none
Nearest ATM: Fox (117km and 2 hour drive North) or Wanaka (146km and 2 1/2 hour drive South).
Nearest Filling Station: See above.

To say this place is remote is an understatement. We leave early tomorrow morning!
