NZ Part 6 - Franz Josef
was telling ber today, how lazy i am to blog nowadays cos it just takes too blody long to upload photos. and there are gazillion nz photos so i've to be very selective, otherwise it would take 10 years to upload all of 'em.
anyways, enough complaining. back to nz.
along the way to franz josef, we had a little mishap due to our eagerness to take photos of the astounding ocean views along the west coast. we unwittingly drove into a bees' farm off the highway, got stuck in there cos the exit dirt track was very steep and offered no friction to my car's wornout wheels. we got out of the car to look for some logs, while being very afraid of mass attack by bees. you would think that it would be easy to find some logs lying around in the very forested south island west coast, but no! the area we were trapped in was all bush, no trees (it's a bees' farm, remember?). the sun was setting, our mobile phone was not receiving any signals, and we were getting quite desperate. so we tried to flag down the cars that were whizzing by along the highway. very luckily, weiloong and george, whom we were sposed to meet up with in franz josef, came along. george managed to get the car out - so thankful! we reached franz josef safe and sound, without any bee stings.
at franz josef, we trekked to the terminal face of the glacier. it rained the day before causing the river level to rise. there were huge ice blocks swirling around in the milky river, resembled milo ping. check out the pictures below.
