We went to the South Island during the Holiday
We flew into Hokitika and had to wait 6 hours for the Intercity bus to Franz Josef

This is what Greenstone looks like before cut open
Green Stone is heavily found in this area. These are pieces in the museum.
Museum display items
Flowers are always in bloom
The beach at Hokitika
A church that has been closed due to seismic requirements
We made it to Franz Josef for the Glaciers
(pronounced glass iers here)
The Glaciers are somewhere behind those heavy rain clouds!
We stayed at the "Gloworm" Backpackers Motel.
Our bathroom was small like our old motorhome.
Decorations in our room
The room was small and cozy
Well, it rained day and night grounding all of the helicopters
We were unable to do our glacier helicopter tour
We never saw the glaciers with all of the heavy rain clouds
We visited a local museum
Bryce was able to climb their glacier 😂 What a good sport!
We went on the Intercity bus to Greymouth
From Greymouth to Christchurch on the TranzAlpine Railway
It did not stop raining
The views were still beautiful and amazing
