    Made our way to the Westcoast and started to head south towards Franz Josef glacier. Stopped in to look at Lake Daniells track on the way down. Again amazing blue water, looking very clean and inviting.
    Stopped into a Monteiths brewery for a tasting and got to a campsite near Franz Josef. Set up the tent and headed straight out to Franz Josef glacier walk. A relatively short walk which takes you within a few 100 meters of the base of the glacier. Amazing to see how many meters the glacier has been retreating over the last 100 years or so. Scary to think how much longer it might be around for.
    Back to the campsite for a spot of reading for the girls and watching geostorm for Pete and I.    Read more
