Today we headed all the way down the west coast of the south island towards the more mountainous parts of the country. The coastal drive was stunning as we travelled down through valleys and gorges. Around mid afternoon we stopped at a weird little place called 'the Bushaman Centre' where they had a collection of native animals including possums, dear, goats and a big wild pig. We watched a video about deer hunters in the area that used to catch wild dear on the mountains using a helicopter to jump out of and catch them with their bare hands!
We arrived at the small village of Franz Joseph at the foot of the Franz Josef Glacier in the dark, making sure we got an early night at the Rainforest Retreat before a busy day trekking up the glacier!
