Easter Break Park 3: Franz Joseph Glacier, drive to Queenstown

Day 6-7. Today we climbed the incredible Franz Joseph Galcier. We got special spiky shoes and spent the whole day exploring the glacier with a guide and ice climbing up steep glacier walls!
The view from the place we stayed.
Day 9. Today we drove to Queenstown (the "action capital" of NZ) and the drive was really jaw dropping. We made a quick stop at Lake Matheson and saw several more incredible lakes along the way.

We stopped by a bungee place where some people from our group signed up for various jumps. We went out to the back where they have a bridge off of which some people bungee, we look up, and just about to jump is someone we know from our apartment building back in Auckland! I got there just in time to take this picture.
