I tried a whitebait "pattie" on your behalf T and E! Very nice it was too. From the Westland area, the place to indulge in whitebait. We've visited two glaciers here, Fox and Franz Josef. On the walks to get as close as we were allowed to get there were lots of signs of glacier activity! Rivers and streams, waterfalls, interesting rocks of different sizes, moraines and this time some notable areas of smooth rock that really looked like a glacier and its melt water had been this way! We managed to dodge the threatening rain this morning but got very quickly soaked in a proper downpour on our way back through the rainforest! Noticed lots of different kinds of ferns here again, I am quite attached to them now, they're a real symbol of NZ. We are definitely sad to leave, but also looking forward to seeing what Australia brings.

Try and snuggle some home! That'll be a challenge.
