We booked accommodation at Fox Glacier Top 10 campground for a couple of nights. It was a little over three hours drive, but because we stopped along the way to take photos, we didn\u2019t get there until just before sunset. Another reason for our late arrival was that we stopped first at the Puzzling World in Wanaka to tackle the big maze there. Marko and Jaana had already been there on their previous visit, but neither of them completed the maze back then.<\/p><p>To complete the maze you need to find the four cornering towers first. After that you have to find a way out of the maze too. If you want a challenge, you can try finding the towers in a certain order. Last time Jaana found the way to all four corner towers, but to get out she had to use the \u201cemergency exit\u201d. Marko didn\u2019t even get that far, but stopped when he couldn\u2019t find all the towers. This time, as a team of four, we found all four towers, and even found a way out. It took us about 50min to complete the maze. The maze has a total of 1.5km of paths, and most people end up walking 3-5km and spending around 30-60min in it. So we think we did pretty well. Teamwork rules!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-891fdcd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"891fdcd\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e151b1f\" data-id=\"e151b1f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea8aeb9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ea8aeb9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230321_152830-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"20230321_152830\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTk3NiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3RyYXZlbHRhbGVzLmFob3Qub25saW5lXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8wM1wvMjAyMzAzMjFfMTUyODMwLXNjYWxlZC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230321_152830-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1976\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230321_152830-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230321_152830-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230321_152830-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230321_152830-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230321_152830-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The road to Hokitika ran partly along the shores of Lake Wanaka.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c456a42\" data-id=\"c456a42\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c3cd8c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1c3cd8c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230321_162615-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"20230321_162615\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTk3NywidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3RyYXZlbHRhbGVzLmFob3Qub25saW5lXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8wM1wvMjAyMzAzMjFfMTYyNjE1LXNjYWxlZC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230321_162615-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1977\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230321_162615-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230321_162615-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230321_162615-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230321_162615-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230321_162615-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">We also drove through Haast Pass.

However, we didn\u2019t have much time to admire them in the evening, as the sun started to set almost as soon as we arrived. In the morning the sky was blue, so we woke up in a beautiful scenery after a very cold night. Luckily we have the heater!<\/p><p>Since the weather was so nice, we decided to go on one of the walking trails in the area. This trail was a round trip on Lake Matheson. The route was about 5km long, and it took us 1,5h to walk it, including photo stops. Once again, the scenery was truly spectacular. We took several photos of the surrounding mountains, peaks covered with snow. The children were very surprised that one of the peaks was Mt. Cook. We explained that this time we had ended up on the opposite side of the same mountain range. Flying to Glentanner campground, where we stayed when visiting Mt. Cook, would only take a short while. But driving to the other side of the mountain range involves a quite serious loop.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c04d78b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c04d78b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-315b087\" data-id=\"315b087\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab53258 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ab53258\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230322_112634-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"20230322_112634\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MTk4MCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3RyYXZlbHRhbGVzLmFob3Qub25saW5lXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8wM1wvMjAyMzAzMjJfMTEyNjM0LXNjYWxlZC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230322_112634-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1980\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230322_112634-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230322_112634-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230322_112634-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230322_112634-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230322_112634-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The snow peak on the right is Mt.

to be. Mainly we walked in a forest, but occasionally we ended up admiring the scenery on the shore of the lake too. While standing on one of the piers, we also saw a curious eel, which came to check out the tourists. It was a longfin eel, apparently one of the largest eel species in the world. Some individuals can grow up to two metres long and weigh up to 25kg. This one we saw wasn\u2019t quite as big, but I wouldn\u2019t go swimming in that lake with

At first we stopped at the Franz Josef Glacier, though, because it was on the way. Since Jaana and Marko\u2019s previous visit, the glacier had retreated a lot. There was no longer any chance of getting even close to the glacier on foot. The only way to walk on the glacier would be to land there by helicopter. Here you can see very clearly what climate change is doing. There was also a marker on the observation deck indicating where the glacier had reached in 1908. Since then, the glacier had retreated several hundred metres. We\u2019ll see how long it will be before the entire glacier no longer exists at all.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

The road was really winding, as we were driving in the mountains for a large part of the time. The bumpy road and the constant uphills slowed us down so much that on several occasions we were doing 30km\/h on a road where we could have been driving at 100km\/h. Our Hiace has not been pimped up by Toyota\u2019s sports car department. It\u2019s just a plain Hiace, not a Hiace GT-R, but it has faithfully carried us for almost three weeks now.<\/p><p>Just before arriving in Hokitika, we stopped at The West Coast Tree Top Walk. In addition to walking in the treetops, there would have been an over 400m long zipline too, but we skipped it this time. It would have been incredibly expensive regarding how short the slide was time-wise.<\/p><p>By the time we arrived at Hokitika we were already terribly hungry, as we hadn\u2019t eaten anything since breakfast, and it was almost four o\u2019clock. We hadn\u2019t checked how big the town was, but we soon realised that it was quite small, just under 3000 inhabitants. So there weren\u2019t that many restaurant options for hungry tourists. Luckily the fish and chips shop in the centre was open. And there we had probably one of the best fish and chips ever!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-316038b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"316038b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-45d6c8c\" data-id=\"45d6c8c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ba3699 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6ba3699\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230323_144134-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"20230323_144134\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MjAxMiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3RyYXZlbHRhbGVzLmFob3Qub25saW5lXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8wM1wvMjAyMzAzMjNfMTQ0MTM0LXNjYWxlZC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230323_144134-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2012\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230323_144134-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230323_144134-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230323_144134-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230323_144134-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/traveltales.ahot.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230323_144134-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">So from this vantage point, birds watch the world every day.

Kiwi Center. In the center there were kiwis too, but we were still more interested in the eels. These eels were the same species as the one we had previously seen in the wild. We could feed the eels pieces of meat with tweezers. Normally they are fed an omelette on Thursdays, but as no one had had time to prepare it, they were given some other protein-rich food instead. Risto naturally rushed to the eels first and immediately started feeding them. Ronja was more sceptical about these creatures. When feeding eels with short tongs didn\u2019t seem to work for her, the worker gave her a stick that looked like the ones you use to pick trash. This way she didn\u2019t have to worry about eels getting greedy and grabbing her fingers too.<\/p><p>When the eels had had enough, you could stay and stroke them. It should come as no surprise to anyone that Risto was again the first one with his paw in the water. The eel\u2019s skin had a very special feel to it. We had all been expecting something between a snake and a fish, but their skin felt more like you had stuck your hand into some mucous membrane.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
