Franz Josef, NZ. The Tasman Sea is warmer than expected. We spent yesterday driving the southwestland, which is marked by rocky outcrops that crumble into the ocean. The Tasman is not for swimming as it pounds unrelenting. The water is an inviting Caribbean aquamarine, a clean blue like the glacier water that runs beneath the bridges that span the highway's ceaseless river crossings.
New Zealand is a perpetual national park, with every view and vista scenic and every 100 meters a new preserve. If all of America's national and state parks sat back to back along a highway, that would approximate our road trip here, thus far. The landscape possesses spectacular variety.
We're camped at the base of the Franz Josef Glacier, and will hike the nearby Fox Glacier today as soon as the weather breaks. All that is available is an ancient computer, so we'll post pictures later.
