Ok I think I have to say this was teh best part of the trip yet.....we arrived at Franz Joseph Glacier late and found a rainforest campsite to stay had a couple of drinks and dinner and then hit the sack....

In the morning we set off for Franz Joseph where we did a walk to the mirror lake and to the base of the glacier ......we then jumped in the van and drove to Fox where we enjoyed the best heli ride ever only to land on the glacier and hike the ice then go on a rollar coaster ride on the return journey in the heli....

Funny enough we met up wih our caving buddies from the north island who we contined our journey with and share good wine and conversation!!!!
