A light rain woke us up, accordingly, our motivation to drive to Franz Josef Glacier and to do a small hike was not so high. Gray clouds everywhere. But with our arrival there a small blue hole appeared – right above the glacier. What a nice gift! Like Fox Glacier, Franz Josef Glacier is melting away with alerting speed.
Next stop was Hokitika Gorge, also worth the detour. Blue water, green rainforest, idyllic suspension bridge – what do you want more?
