Arthur’s Pass to Franz Joseph

The AA man arrived and a couple of hours later and with the extraction of the awning we were off. The sun was shining. The van was rattling and we were on our way. Not long into our journey and the pot cupboard yet again popped it’s cogs and contents, which included the glass coffee pot, made there way across the floor. Who needs coffee anyways.

We head for Hokitika gorge and it does not disappoint. The sun is warm, the sandflies large and the water an amazing turquoise. The bush is lush and the birdsong definitely reminds you that life is good.

There tracks are amazing and exceptionally well maintained. Maybe it’s the lack of people walking them as huge car parks are occupied by a handful of vehicles. There are swingbridges everywhere and whilst they are good they are not really my cup of tea. I like the ground under my feet to not sway when I walk. I also always question the signage. “Is the 20 people really 20 people? “or is it like a 2mx2m lift which says only 12 people can fit in, that is of course if they are all under 10 or tiny catwalk models. Or even better it says 12 people or 600 kilos and my mind goes crazy trying to divide the people into the kilos. Anyway I digress as it matters not because I walk the bridge alone.

The last thing that you would ever want to do whilst on vacation or a business trip is start applying solutions to the scalp! This medication can levitra sale help in two ways.

You’ll find an ‘Excludes2 note’ for the Z code while using the generico cialis on line repeated falls code – R29.6, and you can report both the codes together when the documentation supports it.

We leave the gorge and head to Franz Joseph where we check into “Rainforest Retreat”. I am getting the feeling that over this way they like to glam up the parking spots by naming them retreats although it’s hard to argue with the sentiment when you are backed into the bush. The day was topped of with the best G&T, (blackball gin and grapefruit sofa) on a sunny deck at the on-site restaurant/bar.

PS

Franz Joseph is lovely. The people friendly, coffee great, scenery majestic and as said previously the G&T’s brilliant but it is so very, very quiet. Large Accomodation businesses have one or two cars parked at them, others have simply pulled the curtains and put up the no vacancy signs. It’s great to walk the walks, and to always get a car park but it’s all comes at a cost and you can’t help but feel that a lot of people here are paying the price.
