We left Queenstown a few days ago. Before we left we took the gondola up above the town for some magnificent views and more importantly, the luge! At the top of the Remarkables Mountains there is land luge park. We bought tickets up and for the luge and rode down it a few times. It is basically a downhill motorless gocart track with banked turns and a handbrake.
We took off that evening and began our drive north up the westcoast. "Its curvasity is directly proportional to its beauty"- Kevin. We camped out a night in a nice secluded patch of grass that we found. We usually follow a camp, hostel, camp, hostel type of pattern. Housing averages out to about $10 NZD a night. The next day we drove to Fox Glacier
Fox Glacier was nice. It has receeeded much in the past 100 years. Franz Joseph Glacier was equally as massive. Both put the glaciers I saw at Glacier National Park, Montana to shame.

I would love to see Fox Glacier. I only remembered snow on Mt. Cook near Queenstown.
