Franz Joseph (Glacier); Monday, November 20

Last night we stayed in the Rainforest Retreat.

Today's plan was to take a helicopter ride over Mount Cook (the tallest mountain in NZand the Franz Joseph & the Fox Glaciers. Mother Nature decided otherwise and the flights were cancelled due to low cloud and rain. We were really disapointed. So we took a little tour of Franz Joseph including the church. (Our Lady of the Alps)

and then set off set off for Greymouth passing through the rainforest and all its tree ferns.
