It was a short drive from Haast to Franz Josef, so we took the opportunity to stop at every pullout that had a view. Roads continue to be narrow and windy, so this also gave me a chance to allow the cars behind me to pass. I have a hard time going the speed limit, and I’m often 10-20 km/hr below the speed limit.
We made a stop at Knight’s Point….the same spot where Katherine saw me a month ago! Hard to believe that it’s been that long!!! The trees are turning colours, some have dropped their leaves, and it has cooled off.
I went for a short hike to get a better look at the glacier. I walked about 6km return, but didn’t get anywhere near the glacier. It’s currently about 19km from the coast, and scientists believe that it used to extend into the sea.
Breakfast…red Kiwi which is sweeter than a green or golden kiwi and Fajola which taste like a mix of pineapple and guava but gritty like a pear.
