Haast

From Franz Josef, we headed to Fox Glacier in the hope of enough of a mist clearance to fly over it instead, but that didn’t happen either.  So, we headed inland a bit to what is normally a stunning Lake Matheson.  We arrived to mist right down to the lake and it was bucketing down.  Tourists headed down the path to the lake – dripping wet within 1 minute of getting out of their car, and we thought, ah no, don’t think so.  So, we didn’t even sight Lake Matheson either.  Very disappointed.

Well, next on our list was Haast where we had booked a room at the Top 10 Holiday Park Motel and here are our thoughts on the matter…

Way down the West Coast there’s a place called Haast
It’s so damned remote, there’s no cellphone maast
The motel was smelly but the pub was a blaast
We stayed for one night, but we should have whizzed paast

Yum, Haast pub food – Linz had the Venison & Mushroom pie and I had Whitebait patties, highly recommended
