West Coast

We crossed Haast Pass the next morning, drove through tiny Haast, and then began what would be a week of driving the South Island's west coast. Here, it alternates between a forbidding bush and an even more forbidding Tasman Sea coastline. But there are incredible sights along the way.
In the bush, near the coast, vines strangle the
trees





















Shoreline, violent surf, no one in sight for miles















More trackless, inpenetrable bush















Here the crashing waves have undermined the cliff beneath
the viewing shelter
















Still a pretty nice view















Ditto
