Expectations are more rain and though there is nothing but an incredibly miserable hostle manager the plan is an "enforced" rest day.
Plans are prone to change. Waking after a long solid sleep to dis over the rain has stopped belongings are hastily packed and the long road to fox glacier begins. 127km will be my longest day yet.
A long slow ride but with the pass behind me closed the road is empty, with only the odd shower and on coming traffic

On the way I meet a pair headed the other way who tell me they got the helicopter ferry over the washed out bridge

Tomorrow really will be a rest day hole around the glacier
