Sunday 26 September
Not a lot to say today, we travelled from Queenstown to Franz Jozef Glacier, a little place that exists only to provide flights to the glaciers, Franz Jozef and Fox. We had a look at Fox, but it was a pretty quick one as it was raining and most of us decided not to go to the end of the path, but just far enough to see the glacier without getting too wet.
It rained quite a lot today, and those who had booked a helicopter flight this afternoon have been postponed to tomorrow morning, which may provide better weather, according to the forecast. We shall see!
It’s really had to believe that our tour is almost over. Tomorrow night in Christchurch will be our last dinner together, then we all go our separate ways. Les and I are staying for a couple of extra days and going to Nelson to see his cousin and partner. We haven’t seen Len for a long time, and haven’t met his partner at all though we have spoken on the phone.
Nothing exciting is happening tonight, dinner at the hotel and probably an early night. There was a lot of snoozing on the bus today, most of us had a busy day yesterday and a particularly early start because of daylight saving starting this morning. About half the group have a cold and the rest of us are trying to avoid it, so fingers crossed!
