Franz Josef Glacier

Norris Lee Wing October 13, 2019

On our way to Wanaka, we made a couple of stops… Franz Josef Glacier. Rain or shine (Mostly rain and cold), we were determined to head there to experience the walk to the Glacier!

Reviewing the directions and warnings before heading…

About 1h30 to 2 hours walk…

The bench facing the path to the Glacier… at this time, it started to pour on us, but it was still a go!

Carefully, we made our way…

HDR 5 exposures…

The next day we were headed to the Hokitika Gorge, which took about 30 min drive into the mountains…

Short walk…

Almost there…

Mahalo!

Welcome to Hokitika!

We finally arrived at Hokitika, small town on the West coast of South Island, where we could walk around easily.

Our hotel was closed enough to the beach that we decided to wake up early and shoot the sunrise!
