Greymouth to Franz Glacier

Another nice day, we had to negotiate another range of mountains. Some the curves were so bad that we had to slow down to 15 kms/hr. Lots of trees and huge ferns. Forest looks almost tropical even though we are closer to Antartica than the rest of the world. Drove through the smallest town in NZ with a total population of 2 but we had to stop when we saw there were 2 cafe's. The first has a large stuffed sandfly. They really grow them big down here and you only get bit once in your life. The second place specializes in possum meat pies which we didn't have a chance to sample unfortunately. I have included a couple of pictures for those of you who may doubt the veracity of what I'm saying (I don't know why since I always tell the truth as everyone knows).
