Franz free trip
Well today after a couple of faxes (yeah still in use here!!) sent to atomic shuttle we bagged a free bus ride to the big town of Franz Joseph home of the other glacier for tomorrow.
plus liz's hand feels better
Today we were on a half day so finished work at 1pm and liz at 2pm.I tried to get a free helihike but again no one cancelled so will have to keep trying.We had french toast at the cafe and because we are loyal customers we got double portions!!! :-)
Early morning rise
This morning I decided to get up at 5am and ride my bike to see the sun rise at lake matheson and see the reflection of MT cook in the water
It was pretty cool wish liz was with me but she couldn't ride the bike because of her hand

Secret Walk
Last week we found a secret walk off a local track where we see glowworms Today we walked it to see how far we could get There was a nice waterfall but not much else. We came to a swampy field with tall grass and white flowers on tall stalks. If the view was clear we would have been able to see the mountains.
Yesterday we did the fox glacier walk to the terminal ice. Was very good!

Mark did a bike ride to Fox Glacier after work.
Later as the sun went down we did a bike ride halfway to Lake Matheson. We saw Mount Cook and a bit of Mount Aspiring through the clouds.
All in all it was a nice sunny day:-)

Gillespies Beach
On new years day we went to the beach. We saw the lagoon and miners tunnel. But decided not to see the seal colony as was too far to walk and the path had too big puddles.
