After having the mueslis with Lewis Road
Orchard Chocolate Milk, we shop at the Wanaka New World for the grocery as this is
the last hypermarket that we can shop before drive the West Coast.

At 10pm, we were leaving Wanaka and drove to
West Coast. We stop at several stops like Lake Hawae Lookout, Lake Wanaka
Lookout, Blue Pools and Fantail Falls.

Then we takeaway our lunch at a
supermarket café in Haast town. The fish and chip is only cost NZD7.30. Then we
have this lunch at the nearby lookout point call the Knight Point. However, we
were attacked by the Sandflies. We quickly take the photos and leave the place.

We reach Franz Josef around 4:30pm. We went
to the Fox Glacier Guiding to ask and book the tour. We booked the 7:50am fox
heli hike which is the earliest one as we plan to do the skydive in the
afternoon. Then we went to ask the skydive. As there is nobody booking yet, we
will walked in to skydive if the weather is very nice.
After that, we went to ask for our stay at
the Fox Glacier Lodge. A non-powered site cost NZD35 for two persons. There is
no other people around. Hence we can select any place to park our car. But we
plan to go to the Lake Matheson first as the weather is quite nice today. The reflection point of the Mount Cook at
the Lake Matheson need to hike for an half hour. But we walk round the lake to
see which have the best viewpoints. At last, the best viewpoint is the
reflection islands. But the weather today is quite cloudy that we couldn’t see
the Mount Cook. Then we finish the hike with just 1 and half hour.

As for our dinner, she fried the rice

planned to walk the Minnehaha walk but we see a review that have many
sandflies. Hence we cancelled it.
