Friday, July 1. Today we traveled from Queenstown to Franz Josef. Franz Josef is on the west coast of New Zealand and was about a 5 hour drive. The sun rises at about 8:30 and it is has been quite cold in the mornings (20s). Our first stop of the day was the bungy jump and then we continued our our trip north and west. We drove through some beautiful country and at least 2 national parks today. We made a few photo stops along the way. The roads were in very good condition and the icy spots had been sanded long before we got there.
By the time we got to the Tasman Sea it was in the low 50s and the landscape was quite different than the east coast of NZ. It was very lush and green and we saw many rainbows. I also learned how to navigate 1 lane bridges today -- we must have crossed at least 20. By the end we understood the signs that indicated which side had the right of way!
The landscape is absolutely beautiful...really love the photos! Glad you didn't bungy jump.
