Franz Josef Top 10

This is the sort of sign to get my pulse racing... as we left Arthur’s Pass and drove down the coast, we could see the snow-capped mountains in the distance getting ever nearer...

I’ve been looking forward to staying here – but I don’t think I was prepared for the sweet view of the glacier we managed to bag on our camp spot!  Not bad for the view out of the back of our campervan!

To whet your appetite, here is the view from the petrol station in Franz Josef...

The campground we are staying in is labelled ‘Classic’ – which we assumed would mean old or not such good facilities, but they’re great!  The kitchen is huge, the laundry the best equipped we’ve seen so far – and it’s only a mile to walk into the village, which we will do for dinner later.

You can’t get a much better spot than this.

It even looks good in the evening, too...
