Today was a long driving day from Queenstown to Franz Josef Glacier. It took us 10 hours to do a 5 hour trip but we stopped at every photo op and took every short hike available. The road goes over the Alps to the Tasman Sea. It is hard to take it all in - beautiful wine country, fall foliage, dense rainforests next to high snow covered mountains, waterfalls and then the Tasman Sea with turquoise waters like the Carribean. The grand finale was a hike to a viewpoint where we could see the Fox Glacier. These two glaciers are the only ones in the world that come so close to the sea in a temperate climate. New Zealand has exceeded our expectations and that is saying a lot.
