Woke to real west coast weather today, just perfect to see the coast in, apparently! And it got worse and wetter as we drove south. We stopped in Hokitika on the way down, but not for long as we were getting drenched. The roads were getting wetter and wetter, as more and more of the rivers starting to stream onto the roads.
Arrived in Franz Joseph village early afternoon, and couldn't see anything for the misty and drizzle. By late afternoon the mist lifted a little and the rain stopped and we caught our first view of the glacier from the village. We are stopping here for the night to enjoy the Glacier Hot Pools and a bit of avant glacier nightlife, and a curry, before our hike up Fox Glacier tomorrow.
ps the pools were lovely
