Fox Glacier to Queenstown (Kelly’s Return)

We walked through some old woodland to get a better view of the glacier
Stopped off at the only restaurant in Haast for lunch, the interior was full of previously owned deer antlers
The view from the campsite in the evening was drastically different to the morning. Niamh tried to break up a surprisingly violent fight between two tomtits
Every five minutes on the road there’ll be another spot to pull over and walk to see a waterfall, I think this one was called Roaring Billy
We picked up Kelly in Cromwell which is famed for it’s giant fruit sculpture and real fruit ice cream
A boat floating in the Queenstown harbour doubles up as a bar, it’s a little risky if you’re prone to sea sickness
We rented bikes and cycled down the Gibbston valley, stopping at a few vineyards for a well earned rest. Got pretty soaked and painted our backs with mud in the morning.
But got roasted in the sun in the afternoon before the bike rental company picked us up and ferried us back to Queenstown
