Tuesday was an action packed day with a heli
copter fight and glacier landing on Franz Josef followed by trip over to nearby Fox Glacier for a walk around Matheson Lake and then it was over to the beach at Okarito for night walk in search of Kiwi in the wild. It took 4 and half hours with renowned guide Kiwi Ian but the search for the elusive kiwi was eventually successful. We started with a 40 minute walk deep into kiwi country and eventually sighted the kiwi within 40 metres of the carpark.
From Franz Joseph we travelled down 
the coastline and then up through the Wanaka Lake district and on to Queenstown. We have been having a lazy day today in Queenstown wandering the streets and park, going for a gondola ride and drinking hot chocolate by the foreshore. We are booked on a lake cruise for this evening.
