Haast Beach





We travelled over to the west coast and back to the sea (thank goodness). Where we stopped is very isolated and primative compared to other places we have been. No town, no shops (yeah) just people there to dive, fish and enjoy the sea. I spoke with one guy who was there with others fishing. They dive to get huge mussels and rock lobster (crayfish). He says they have no commercial use, but they make good eating for them! They looked great. I went for a walk along the beach after dinner (Linda went for a shower) and had a great time listening to the crashing waves and watching the sea birds. I couldn't get to the sea as there was a sand bar blocking my access. But, I could see, hear and smell it.
