Wanaka-Franz Josef

We went for a morning bike ride (18km) around the lake which was way more exhausting than our tour guide had described it to us. It was still beautiful though and I was proud of myself for making it to the end (there were some moments were I seriously had my doubts).
Equipped with food we hopped back onto our bus and hit the road towards Franz Josef Glacier.
The journey there is quite long but as always we stopped many times. On our first stop our guide made us hop off from the bus and let us walk over a bridge amongst the mountains so we could get good pictures. Turns out walking over that bridge is illegal but with no phone reception who is going to tell on you?
Of course we also found another waterfall that enchanted us once again with its crystal clear water. 💕
We stopped on the beach where we got to spot some dolphins and also got to see some mirror reflections in the water that made up for some nice pictures. 💕
The beach was also where we got to meet sandflies which was not too pleasant. The keep following you and they bite. When we stopped the next time to watch the sunset on the beach it was already a bit too cold for them so we were lucky to watch the scenery in peace.
Another great day in New Zealand had passed. 💕Read more
