Day 6, and we worked our way up the West Coast, 200km North to Fox Glacier, and Franz Josef Glacier.

We spent the drive with blue skies, and sun… Very nice… but a couple of kilometres from the glacier, the weather changed to wind, rain, and cold… but once back out on the highway, it was very pleasant again.

We have just arrived in Greymouth, 200km North of the glaciers, and shall be working our way East tomorrow to try and get a whale watching trip… time permitting!

Well, we were in the wilderness yesterday, so not able to access the internet.

We left Queenstown, after a early morning helicopter flight over the town (finally the weather was good enough!).

On our way through the mountains, we came across a monster truck park (see photo) and Jen and I decided to drive one ourselves… it was a cool experience, although my neck aches today!

We eventually camped at a place called Haast, on the West Coast… population 40 I believe.. What a party town!. So I cooked Sausage, Mash and Beans…. TASTY!
