fox and franz joseph glaciers
-
this is where i sat and watched them and squeaked, "don't die!"
-
the water is perfectly drinkable. which is interesting. and tasty.
-
there's a river that comes out from the glacier
-
when we were leaving there was huge chunks of ice floating in it. which presumably were from when the section calved.
-
in the tiny, tiny town that we stayed in, i fed a sheep
-
and experienced the heady joy of TOUCHING THE SHEEP ON THE HEAD.
-
which gave rise to a quoteable michele line that nuala wrote down in her little book.
-
mt. cook. from a distance. our hotel was actually called mt. cook view motel.
-
and then we met the horse across the street. lynette gave us an apple to feed him even.
