We left Christchurch early enough on Tuesday morning to get the Tranzalpine train across to Greymouth and then hop on our bus over to Franz Josef to the glacier (we were told not to do the Fox glacier because it wasn't as good as Franz). We met an ... Read more >

What I really wanted at this point was to travel to the north via any other method than bus – I am soo sick of coaches – so a car or campervan would have been ideal.   In the end I booked another bus but this time I decided to go Naked.   What ... Read more >
