Friday, 12th April - Day Nine: Wanaka to Franz Josef, 288km (173 miles). This is glacier country. A gorgeous morning, sunny and bracing. The west coast is very different from the east. Today we cross 28 one way bridges, pass craggy rocks and high mountains, blue and green pools, rivers, waterfalls and lakes, and eventually enter Glacier country to view both Fox and Franz Josef glaciers but sadly only from a distance. In Franz Josef town, Howard and I got a private film viewing of a helicopter tour over both glaciers and Mt. Cook just because the Adventure Centre was about to close for the day and we were the last people to arrive.
Hey, one paragraph!
