New Zealand in review - Day 5 - Franz to Queenstown

What is it like travelling with a time bomb? Or two? To say I was very nervous about travelling with car sick king Ethan and gastro post one day Georgia between Franz Josef and Queenstown is an understatement. But with towels at the read and the lightest of breakfasts, we ventured off. First stop was a quick photo snap at the Fox Glacier.






Then lovely river/steam views through Haast Pass.









We found a terrific park on the edge of Lake Wanaka and the munchkins had a great time running around there while we enjoyed the magnificent view across the lake to snow capped peaks.




And then we got brave. Which route to Queenstown? The 120km route via Cromwell or the 70km Crown Range Road via Cardrona. With Mummy taking the wheel and driving as slowly and carefully as she could, we made it to Queenstown via the Crown Range Road. It is listed as the highest main road in New Zealand. To me it was the quickest option to get us where we needed to be! And the views weren't bad either......
