Heading South

Continue heading south from Franz josef, we passed but didn't stopped by Fox Glacier, because dear George was in a hurry and we figured (as well as confirmed fwith a couple tourists we met at Franz Josef Glacier who just came from Fox) that the two Glaciers were pretty much the same except Fox Glacier unguided access was closer than Franz Josef. However, I believed where we had just explored at Franz Josef couldn't have been any further than that.

As we continued heading south, we could feel the gradual drop in the temperature. We could feel and see the presence of autumn better.

we passed by this mystical looking land, it's so LOTR!

forgot which lake is this
then we had a pitt stop at Fantail Fall to take some picture and stretch our limbs


and the boys started skimming AGAIN..I was annoyed for not being able to get pass 2 bounces!

orange bushes and turquois stream

and finally we were at Queenstown!

I fell in love with this lovely town at first sight. Surrounded by mountainous landscape and lakes, everywhere was picture perfect. After we parted with George, we checked into a backpakers and explored the town on our own.

and our first giant kiwi sighting in queenstown! I ignored the no feeding warning and share my cookies with her, she loved it!
