It was the 10th that we packed up and set off with a plan to stop off in Wanaka for the night.

We drove on from Arrowtown along the Cardrona road which took us up some devilishly steep and narrow mountain roads with 4x4's haring past us every few minutes (they are fearless drivers in their tanks). ...

We drove on to the adjacent Fox Glacier in the morning but we didn't venture very far - it didn't look as impressive as the Franz Josef and we were too tired to do anything strenuous today.We drove on to the adjacent Fox Glacier in the morning but we didn't venture very far - it didn't look as impressive as the Franz Josef and we were too tired to do anything strenuous today....
