Day 160 Franz Josef, New Zealand

Today we walked to another glacier in the area this one being the Fox glacier which I thought was a lot more impressive than the one yesterday. In the afternoon we walked around Lake Matheson where apparently you can see reflections of Mount Cook in it however the weather was pretty poor so we never got the chance.
In the evening I stayed at the hostel having a beer and talking to Ibon and Jesse from Holland and it turned into a very funny night especially after Ibon getting drunk on half a bottle of beer and him nearly waking the woman up in the room next to us at 11.30pm. He did however manage to take some fantastic photos that night of the southern cross and Mars and kindly gave me a copy of them to.
