Wednesday morning we went to the foot of Franz Joseph Glacier. People walk on it and land planes on the top of it but we just hiked to the foot of it, looked at it, took a picture, and left. We continued driving down the West Coast as far as you can go, then turned inland across Haast Pass. We passed Lake Hawea (pictured) and ended the day in a beautiful town called Wanaka. In the winter, it is a ski town, but is also really nice in summer. It is near Queenstown, which gets all the fame, but many people prefer Wanaka for its more subtle style.
