Franz Josef We set off from Greymouth and headed south to Franz Josef town. The drive took us about 2 hours and was a pleasant drive with the usual winding roads up and down the mountains. We arrived just after 12 and went to the info centre. Turns out they only have one camp site for tents here and was the most expensive so far.

More amazing adventures!
Michael Palin eat your heart out, the Zo and Tom grand tour is soooooo exciting. You guys certainly are doing masses of great stuff. I think an oldie like me would have struggled with the glacier climb- looks and sounds VERY tough. The para-gliding looks brill. Hope the landing wasn't too bad Zo (what about those women drivers, Tom. Hey ho.) I can get away with that this far away!! Zo and animals, never a good mix. I dare say Kea pie would be tasty? Jet boat sounds good. All this AND Scrabble. You dare-devils. Glad you saw the Barbars game. I bet they were well peed off in NZ! A good match. Keep the blogs coming guys they are brill. xxxxxxxxxxxDad

What fantastic stuff!
What amazing experiences you're having. The paragliding looks awesome. We remember the glacier climb at Franz Josef as being the best experience we had whilst in NZ and well worth the journey down the wet and woolly west coast. That blue ice is just something isn't it. There can't be much left for you to try, can there? You both look extremely well and happy in spite of all that rain. Just as well you're both so adaptable (and young - that helps!). Keep 'em coming. Lots of Love Aunty Kathy and Uncle Lennie xxxx
