We've ended up in a wee town called Haaste, well I say a 'town', its really just a place on the road with a motel, lodge and petrol station - but it has showers so we're spending the night. We drove to Franz Josef Glacier town today with the intention of walking on the glacier or at least having a look, but the weather's been raining non-stop and the cloud cover has been very low, so unfortunately we had to keep driving.
Luckily though, we're out the room early and then driving to Wanaka to go SNOWBOARDING tomorrow!!!!!!!! Woo hoo! I'm so excited! I think we're staying there for 2 nights so we should have a good time.
Yesterday we watched the annual winter-swim in Westport. The beaches along the coast were absolutely beautiful, and we also stopped to check out Pancake Rocks - basically big rocks in the ocean that are pancake shaped!
Sorry this is a boring entry, nothing exciting to report as we've been driving in the rain all day. Hopefully the next few days will be a bit more adventurous and exciting!
Hope everyone's well at home!
Much love, God Bless x
