Franz Josef
We drove through the Southern Alps to arrive on the other side of Mt. Cook at Franz Josef. This was a pretty low key time for me because I finally came down with the cold that has been moving through the group. The only real notable thing I did was go to the glacier hot pools, as I was too tired to ice climb with the few that went. Stayed around the hostel and had a movie day.
Christchurch
As the city is closed, we ended up camping on the outskirts at a holiday park near the airport. There was not much to do here and again we watched “heaps” of tv. We did go a bit near the city and saw some wreckage and a woman staying where we were was a relief worker who has been working every day since the quake. Apparently, another earthquake is anticipated in the upcoming months. I ended up on a different flight than everyone else and got through security at the airport by 5am and leave at 6:35. Everyone else is on an afternoon flight! I am still congested but hopefully getting over this cold I’ve been battling for the last few days!
