    Franz Josef

    April 24, 2017 in New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Franz Josef is a really small town that is famous for its glacier, hence the name.
    Since we didn't want to spend $500 on a helicopter flight up to the glacier we decided on just going for a walk along the bottom of the glacier. 💕
    It was rather cold in the morning but it actually got quite hot with the sun later on. The glacier walk took us about two hours and we walked through a bit of rainforest followed by a path through a mostly dry river bed. We came across some beautiful waterfalls and took heaps of pictures of the glacier from all different angles. 💕
    At the end of the walk we were quite close to the glacier and we could see the different colours of the ice.
    Because we still had time and motivation left we went on another walk called the "Callery Gorge Walk". It was a rainforest walk and in my opinion it looked like the "Forbidden Forest" from Hogwarts. It really was magical and I think in the whole time we've spent ther we saw about four people. We also found some great opportunities for a photoshoot which sometimes involved a bit of climbing. 💕
    It was the last night of our tour that day so we got picked up by a limousine and were driven to a bar (200m) where we had dinner before we went to bed with lots of new memories we had made that day. 💕
