RE: New Zealand #6 - Along the West Coast to Fox Glacier - South Island

in #travel7 years ago

Those single lane bridges are quite common when driving about the South Island aren't they? I liked how well marked they were with the signs showing who had priority by using strong and weak arrows of different colors. It saved a lot of confusion and attempts to communicate with flashing headlights etc.

I'm looking forward to seeing your Pancake Rocks post (I visited there twice). Have you been to Cape Foulwind? There's a great walk along the cliffs there. At least it's great when the weather is pleasant.

Sort:  

Thanks for feedback and for posting a shot I couldn't get in the rain! Not that this is the Haast River bridge of course, far too short. But will anyone notice the railway track that you also have to figure out? I decided early on the very large trains have priority no matter what direction they are going!

Trying to do Pancake post tomorrow, then Westport and if I can fit in the seal colony at Cape Foulwind, though this may require a separate post!

Yes, those rail tracks are an oddity.
