The morning was one of regrets and hangovers. With some pancakes and bacon from the hostel to wash down the remnants of alcohol from the night before.

Deciding we all looked a bit too fragile today, our driver didn't make us do the 1 hour walk in Okarito and instead got us to Franz Josef a bit earlier so that we could check in at the Glacier Guide office for our activities tomorrow. We are all a bit worried as the weather today was awful so we aren't sure if the glacier hikes will go ahead tomorrow - fingers crossed!

Once we arrived at the hostel, David and I decided to explore the small town, using the free wifi in a café for me to facetime Holly and then going shopping for a warm hoodie for the glacier tomorrow.

The glacier hike we had signed up for also gave us free access to the hot pools so the girls and I made our way down there for some girl time. It was just what we needed after the night before and the 3 different temperature pools made us feel like we were in a spa!

Feeling a lot more relaxed, we went back to the hostel and David and I had the all you can eat pizza dinner before retiring to the lounge room to watch possibly one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

I just about powered through until the end, but the tiredness from Lake Mahinapua caught up to me and I crashed out straight after the film finished.
