15 January
We checked out both the Franz Joseph and the Fox glaciers (you can get up close to Fox). What’s worrying is that they show you where the glacier came to in 1935, and it was more than 1 kilometer further forward than today.
Franz Joseph and Fox are real ski resort towns (Fox more so), but as this isn’t the season you can always treat yourself to a helicopter ride over the glaciers (as it was so foggy, we gave it a miss)
Heading for Queenstown, we drove on a stretch that was a single track road/bridge/railway line. Luckily no train, cars or cyclists were heading our way.We stopped at Wanaka, a ski/lake paradise in the south west. Sunny (at last) so we look forward to some ray catching and had a superb Indian, complete with beer.
