Day 8 - Franz Josef Glacier

Our miserable luck continues with the weather and trying to fly. Our helicopter trip up the glacier is cancelled due to weather. We end up killing most of the day waiting around for later flights, looking for others, etc. Finally, we just walked up to the glacier (which is not a short walk). After dinner/sunset, we took a short hike into the woods to see some glow worms (worms that glow in the dark).

We proceeded well past this point:

Kristin really liked this rock:
Waterfalls in NZ are like rainbows in Ireland...You're like, "I've only seen 3 in my whole life up until today, and now I can't swing a dead cat without hitting one":
