Franz Josef and Hokitika

Today we left Fox Glacier and drove to Franz Josef and did a glacier walk. We walked along the river up towards the glacier. It was very tiring and a long way but we got a good view at the end. The path was very rocky and we had to walk over stepping stones across the river (2 times). The glacier was bluey white.

Then we drove to Hokitika and had ice cream and then went on the beach. There were sculptures made from drift wood. We saw some animals – a dog and a stag. Then we drove to Greymouth and had pizza for tea.
