The Perfect Drive

Friday: Franz Jozsef to Wanaka

Photos never do scenery justice, but yesterday (Friday) was just perfect. Winding roads, majestic snow capped mountain scenery with rocky rivers or turquoise lakes, and cloudless skies - there's no better combination for driving a sports car with the top down. It's heaps of fun to drive and I've been surprised to find that not only do you see the sky but you hear the birds in the area and smell the air: sometimes it's salty and humid, or fresh and crisp along with a pleasant earthy smell of whatever livestock is in the area.


I've added the brochure of where we hiked on Fox Glacier on Thursday. It's a deceptively huge area and seeing the Eiffel Tower graphic puts it on perspective. You can also appreciate how far up the glacier we landed and so we were the only people in that area.
