Day 158 Punakaiki-Franz Josef, New Zealand

Sunday 13th November 2005

overcast 15 °C

Spent most of the day driving although I did get a chance to look at the Pancake Rocks along the way which was very much worth the visit. Arrived at Franz Josef around 4pm and the Gloworm Hostel we booked into looked very nice and I would certainly recommend it to anyone staying here in the future. That night we went to a local pub where we bumped into Simon and Rachel whom we had meet in Nelson and were soon to bump into them several more times along the way conveniently in other pubs along the journey.
