On the 14th day of the honeymoon, we continued our travels south to the glaciers. We arrived near the glaciers in the afternoon, booked our hiking trip for Franz Josef the following day, and then hiked a bit around Fox Glacier. Since there is a high risk of landslides and such, we stayed pretty far away from the glacier.
As was becoming common on our trip, it rained. It kind of felt like we were back in Ireland with all the rain. However, the glaciers and fjords get a lot more rain, about 6 metres per year if I recall correctly. Anyway, it rained in the afternoon/evening so we did our laundry in the pouring rain, checked our email, and later went for a beer at the holiday park where we stayed.
