April 24 - Haast

 Today was all about water and views!!!  It started with Lake Wanaka and the tree that grows in the lake….then several other lakes.  Every time we went around a curve the view changed.  We stopped as often as we could to take pictures.  Clear lakes that look like glass, with snow capped mountains towering over them and lined with trees that are changing colours.  Spectacular.  After we left the lakes behind, then there were the waterfalls.  We are on the west coast, but inland a bit.  Tomorrow we will have views of the Tasman Sea.
