Franz Josef, New Zealand
The drive from Motueka to Franz Josef was our longest journey yet. It took us about 6 and a half hours and we saw about 3 cars! 
The drive took us down the west coast of the south island and there aren't many people living there. The biggest town is Greymouth with a population of 13,500!
We arrived in the small town of Franz Josef in the middle of a downpour and unfortunately for me it was my turn to scout out a room. We found a cheap one but this meant no kitchen and only a small heater. We spent the evening in bed with the electric blanket on eating pot noodle. We hadn't warmed to Franz Josef! Litterally.
The reason for coming here was because of the glaciers, one in Franz Josef and one in Fox about 20 miles away. I had wanted to climb on one but as the weather hadn't cleared up I didn't get to do it. We walked up to the terminal/face of each glacier took some piccies, had a drive around, wandered on a grey beach on a grey day, and left in search of better weather.
