South Island - West Coast - Franz Josef and Fox Glacier
The first night on the West Coast we stay at a Youth Hostel in Franz Josef (population not many). We are lucky to have sunshine as it rains around 50% of the time here. After hiking around both Franz Josef and Fox glaciers we settle into the hostel for an evening game of NZ monopoly followed by a sleepless night listening to German packpackers party.


Reminds me of the blue glacial waters of Lake Louise in Canada. Hannah is mesmorized.
This is a lucky picture for the West Coast as there is enough sunshine to see what we think is Mt Cook (the highest mountain in the country) in the background. And we are back on the road to Punakaiki another 244 km up the winding coast roads.
