Simon & Caroline's World Tour 07/08

Leaving Hokitika this morning we were immediately hit with a stunning view over the massive snow-capped Southern Alps, mountains that look old and rough, but are actually quite new. It seemed that every stop we made on the way down offered something new and amazing to look at, whether it was mountain views, mirror-smooth lakes, or odd turquoise rivers.

By lunch we'd made it to Franz Josef, and booked ourselves in for a couple of tours over the next two days, which will be unlike anything we've done before. I'll not spoil the surprise, you'll just have to see if we have enough energy tomorrow to write about it!
