Woke up to my mobile ringing, which was Jill telling me that a friend of ours in the UK had died of cancer. James and I both new Trace and were very upset and shocked by the news. We checked out late and made out way to Fox Glacier, we walked the trail to the face of the glacier and this one you could get a lot closer to.

We carried on south for 4 hours stopping at Knights point to take a photo of the view and also at a little café for lunch which seemed to glamorise hunting by having pictures of people chasing and slaughtering pigs.

We arrived in Wanaka around 4pm and had a wander around the town and took some photos at the lake front. Jemma and I cooked a Bolognese for all of us and then we headed to the local cinema which is unique by having the seats as Sofa’s and Lazy-Boys and even a VW Beetle to sit in while watching the film. We saw the film Flags of our Fathers which was pretty awful and matt even fell asleep (can’t blame him sofa’s were comfy).
