Franz Josef

After last nights' party was a bit dull getting up to typical British weather aka. RAIN, RAIN AND MORE RAIN!
Stopped at the Bushman Centre on the way to Franz, is a small place which gives information on different ways the people on the West Coast make a living and how it came about.
So saw a video all about deer hunting, and how they were orignally introduced to enhance the wildlife but became out of control and people were employed to destroy the deer and save the trees(!) But as always things went the other way and they became endangered. The eventual conclusion is that now there are large numbers of deer farms to control numbers and give people businesses.
Also saw (live) possums and fed one, it was so soft! Then met a nice BIG PIG, and some rather larger than comfotable eels :-S
Still was a good visit, and cheap too!
Other than that have now arrived at Rainforest Retreat for the next two nights and booked up my Glacier Hike for tomorrow!
Oh and did I mention the fire alarm went off three times between 5 and 6 while I was trying to have a quick nap?! grrrr!

Looks like i wont get to see you before i go to Uni as im off in two weeks! Excited and nervous so we'll have to have a good catch up when its the hols - by the way you havent said to much about the men over there, better than the English?!?!?! Anyway its great to keep hearing from you, take care Love xKerryx
