14.Glaciers
To Wanaka (Puzzleworld wasn't bad, maze etc) and hitch-hiked over the mountains (Haast Pass) and up the west coast (they said it couldn't be done) up to Fox Glacier. Cycled to the glacier and the lake. Not as good as the untouristy Chilean glaciers. I would have done the helicopter trip over the glacier if it wasn't so expensive.
Imagine : the snowcapped mountains perfectly reflected in the Lake Matheson

Hitched further up through Hokitikaand Greymouth to Punakaiki The Pancake rock formation and blowholes
, 2 days at the Te Nikau Retreat cycling and walking into the forest to see the caves.
