On the way to our next destination – Franz Josef
Lots of ferns sticking out of the mountains and just all over
Our home for the night – Te Waonui Forest Retreat in Franz Josef. Nestled in between a rainforest near Franz Josef glacier #franzjosef #franzjosefglacier #newzealand #tewaonuiforestretreat #H2HNewZealand2016
Part of the fun of travelling is staying in different types of places! It’s part of the adventure, the fun and discovering places
Group photo with Franz Josef glacier at the back ( not clear :-O ) 
Greeted by a Maori 🙂 
Dad eventually bought something similar to the coat he is wearing!! haha!! Ian our driver and tourguide is so good he found a place that had 1 pc on the mannequin!
Kiwi juice – welcome drink
We rushed right away to try the glacier pool so we walked passing the back of our hotel
And there was a facility with Glacier hot pools
It is unisex since you can wear your swimsuits 🙂 The water is from a river connected to the Franz Josef glacier. There are 3 pools with different temperatures – 36, 38 and 40 degrees #glacierhotpool #franzjosefglacier #franzjosef #newzealand #H2HNewZealand2016
