Annette Burston Tours Ltd teamed up with some friends to take us on a week long trip round to the west coast of the South Island and back. We had an amazing time climbing glaciers and other touristy things especially when 'wine time' started at around 4pm each day! Another couple of surfs including some spots described in my guide as having a 'wide variety of marine life - many of which have big sharp teeth!' Oh well, they won't come any where near the shore dump's of Hokitaka.
Hanmer Thermal Springs. Unfortunately, the sun was so hot on the day we went that the 40 degree pool was just a little too toasty.
Looking at the nose of a Grumman Ag-Cat.
On the way up the Franz Joseph Glacier. We went on a half day trip up the glacier which included climbing 200 ice steps some of which were pretty gnarly.
The view back down the valley from a tiny way up the glacier. We only walked up the first little bit of the glacier; it was huge!
Looking up at the glacier. If you zoom in you'll be able to see where we walked.
