Gave up on the hope to hike in Oparara Basin and headed south in the rain. First interesting stop of note was pancake rocks. Interesting but lots of tourists and crazy rain meant it was a no dawdle zone.
Spent a night in the Hotitika area and then on to Franz Joseph and Fox glaciers. The wild beauty and wide variety of the scenery continues to astound me. Across from my campsite night before last:
A flat tire forced me into Wanaka sooner than I'd wanted. I bounced off of something and ruined the sidewall and so am the proud owner of 1 brand new tire.
Queenstown is next. Most say it is beautiful but busy, expensive and not a place to hang for long.
Now that I know at least Vicki is reading, I will try to keep better notes! :)
We are all reading your posts. The others just cant' figure out how to post a comment. Dana said she did, but she didn't. Technically challenged!! [;>) That rain does NOT sound like a lot of fun, but I guess it adds variety to the adventure. Love you. Miss you.
