August 1 - Glacier Region


Because of the horrible weather that NZ has been having many of the roads out of Christchurch were either flooded or blocked. Luckily, there was only one road open and it was the road I wanted to take! So we are now headed across the South Island, through the Southern Alps (using Arthur's pass, see bottom right photo), towards the west coast to Punakaiki, Greymouth, Franz Josef Glacier, and then Fox Glacier. Oh! The bird at the bottom is a Kea (same name as our motorhome company :) They are pretty smart parrots who, unfortunately, have the reputation for pulling off the rubber lining from car windows.
