May 7, 2008 – Queenstown to Fox Glacier
Weather: First half of day mostly fine and then rain and more rain.
Today’s drive from Queenstown up to Fox Glacier was pretty much uneventful. We started out in partial sunshine and ended up in continuous rain. Just north of Queenstown we stopped at the AJ Hackett bungy jumping center but they were just opening up and no jumpers in sight. It was cold and gloomy so we didn’t hang around. Since Joan wasn’t interested and I wasn’t interested (too cold, weak excuse huh?) we headed for Wanaka and points beyond ending up at Fox Glacier. The trip over Haast Pass was wet and rainy but no snow. We got into Fox in the daylight and stopped by the glacier but we only walked part way to it. Way too wet. We couldn’t get any worthwhile pictures.
Everyone arrived safely so it was a good day.
