Down the coast

Well, we made it across to the South Island, via the Interisland Ferry. It was a very scenic 3 hour boat ride. Yesterday, we drove for most of the day, going down the west coast. They don't have interstates here, so the going was slow. The whole way was just narrow 2 lane roads, winding through the hills and along the coast. Pretty fun stuff if you like driving (and have a sporty car of some sort), and very scenic. We stayed the night in a little town named Haast, and will be heading to the resort town of Queenstown to stock up on supplies before heading out for our first multi-day trek (tramp). NZ's been experiencing a cold snap the last few days, so hopefully it will warm up in time for the trek.
