Today we departed at 06:30 (!) at Kaikoura heading for Franz Josef. We were on the road for almost 12 hours... On the road we had some stops, one was at a place with plenty of large lime stones. Quite a nice place! The rest of the travel was quite boring. We dropped two fellows at Christchurch: Stefan and Janka. It's a pitty that they only stayed a few days on the bus. Tomorrow we are going out for hiking on the Franz Josef Glacier and go to the Glacier Hot Pools afterwards. Hot pools again... :-)
