Day 78 - Queenstown to Haast

From Queenstown, we drove to the West Coast across mountains in the mist, waterfalls, cystal blue clear rivers and deep green rainforests.   Even the major highways here are two lane winding roads, all with one lane bridges.  Beautiful and pristine.
 

 
In Haast, we were expecting a small town and found the edge of civilization.  At 4:00 in the afternoon, we found one restaurant open, a few hotels and a couple of empty helicopter pads to take people out past "roads end".  It was quiet... almost eerily so.   It really felt like the land at the edge of the map. Mountains to the North, South and East and a beautiful beach to the West.
