We have spent the last few days at the Franz Josef Glacier.
After our evening of cockles, we had another day of driving and beauty. We started at the northern coast of the South Island, but we headed to the west coast. Once again, I have little to report beyond a detail or two and some photos.
The west coast is thinly populated. Its beauty is stark and even lonely. We drove slowly down the highway, stopping at different places that seemed interesting.

In so many ways, New Zealand has been incredibly easy compared to the rest of our trip. The natives share our tongue. They are welcoming and fun. The camper-van eliminates the need to unpack, carry and repack unwieldy luggage. We do not have to navigate unfamiliar modes of travel like tuk-tuks, subways, busses, trains, etc. Food is easy to order.
But this lovely country has proven harder on me in one unexpected area: this blog.

I think I hurt Wellington’s feelings with my comments about the bad weather because it cleared and was cool and clear today.
It is nice to know that we have that type of power.
