West Coast

Between Fox Glazier and Franz Josef Glazier we stopped to eat at the Buschman's centre. Usually people get eaten on the West Coast, by the sandfly above. Luckily they hang this huge one. The normal version is teeny weeny.

In the centre you can eat, drink and there is a little museum and shop and they have a few animals around the place. The deer brown eyes smiled at me.

The centre is in Pukekura, the smallest town on the West Coast with a population of two. They make use of natural resources. These stools are covered with possums which are a pest in NZ.

Just past Hokatika we took the road inlands over Athur's Pass and discovered a Moa on the top somewhere. We reached Christchurch around the evening.
