The next stop was Fox glacier, maybe an hour or so away from Franz Joseph. After hiking the main trail to the glacier look-out (10 minutes return), I decided to follow the signs to Peter’s Pool, another 10 minute hike. I’m glad I did – the main look-out was impressive, but the placid pool made a great reflecting surface for the glacier and surrounding mountains.After the glacier, I stopped in Hokitika for an early dinner, but was turned off by the busloads of tourists shopping for jade and bone carvings. Next stop: Greymouth, where I enjoyed a huge roast pork, pumpkin and kumara sandwich on the water before hitting the road again.
