Final break post: Nelson, Franz Josef, Wanaka, the open road


Our very packed trunk


They have really intense anti-driving drunk campaigns here... pretty hilarious!



We stayed at my neighbor Olivia's house after Abel tasman. It was so awesome! Her house was so AWESOME! View of sunset from her kitchen window.

More Nelson sunset

Our awesome hosts. Made me miss my mother though! :)

Her house

I thought this was interesting. Are these sushi carts common?

During the LONG drive from Franz Josef we saw the best sunset.

Our hostel in Franz josef. This was probally after we got pulled over with no WOF or Reg and got away like bandits.

Group shot

again



One of the best parts of the glacier was the waterfalls surrounding the glacier

It was just a little bit dirty



I literally had to stand here for like 20 minutes while our guide cut out a path. I was soaking wet and did not think I was going to make it. When I finally came out I was shaking like a leaf.


Group in an ice cave

Our guide Cliff.






View from the highways ... perfect

Sorry guys, im never coming home

We really love Ricardo.


We saw a fire right outside of Wanaka

Then there was this helicopter with a little bucket attached to put it out.

Wanaka view.
