Day 46 – 48 : Wanaka – “Holy shit …”
The mountain drive to Wanaka, which consists of racing beside oceans before charging up into wild valleys brimming with natural wonder, is awe-inspiring.
The mountains we viewed at Fox Glacier remain for the duration of the trek. Forever towering in front and beside us, the coach traverses narrow vales and crosses rushing fjords under their ancient watchful eye.
We’ve been joined on this leg of the trip by a couple of German guys who proceed to document the journey extensively, snapping anything that looks vaguely interesting from the comfort of their seats.
