Driving down the west coast from Greymouth to Queenstown was really gorgeous. We especially liked the part from Franz Joseph Glacier through Haast Pass and down to Wanaka. The pass from Haast to Wanaka is probably one of the most beautiful pieces of land I have ever seen. It travels between two enormous, impossibly blue lakes wedged between pointy green mountains. We spent some time at Haast beach, and were virtually alone except for the immensely irritating sandflies. These little buggers are ruthless. The Maoris believe that all things have a purpose on this earth, and that sandflies are here to keep us from being still or idle for too long- a purpose they seem hellbent on fulfilling.
-Jesikah
