Again, a beautiful journey along windy and steep roads to get to Wanaka. On the way, we passed Franz-Josef and Fox glaciers and given that the parking for Fox glacier was just off the highway, we stopped there. We took a walk along Fox Glacier Valley up towards the glacier which offers good views. There is lots of interesting information about the receding glacier and the surrounding woodland.

We stopped at Roaring Billy Falls for a break, but they were not roaring as this was quite a dry spell but it was great to take a walk through the woods.

We then pressed on to Wanaka with excellent scenery as we passed between Lake Wanaka and Hawea.
