After Wanaka, we headed up the west coast to see the Franz Joseph Glacier. This drive is supposed to be one of the most magnificent in all of New Zealand. Unfortunately for us, it was pissing down rain and we could barely see in front of us, let alone any views. Franz Joseph was the same way. It was pouring rain most of the day I went, but it opened up a bit when we got up to the top. The boots they gave me were soaked and my feet were wet and cold the entire time, but the glacier was spectacular. Its a 7 km by 7 km piece of ice, and its getting bigger by the year. Take a look at some of the extra photos to get a perspective on the size of the thing.More Pictures
