Sunny coasted into Franz Glacier Township on empty, and we filled up just in time at the exorbitant price of NZ$1.92 per liter. We had enough time to do the Peter’s Pool walk to see the glacier before it got dark. Everyone’s kind of on strike about walking after Tongariro (Sabrina’s vicariously sore), so I ‘might’ have underestimated the distance when I told them about the walk, but it only took about 10 minutes and I think everyone agreed the view was worth it.

We’re staying in a nice self-contained unit at a hostel here called Glowworm Cottage. We’re too tired to go check and see if we can find any of the little namesake critters, though.
