Franz Josef

After a relatively short drive (again with amazing views) we arrived in Franz Josef around lunchtime on the 17th. This little village is the gateway to a glacier, which didn't interest me too much. So with another woman from the bus, I walked on a trail through the rainforest, which was quite strenuous and a bit of an adventure: Since it had apparently rained a lot recently, we had to go through creeks, wade through (at some points ankle-deep) mud and climb over slippery rocks. I was glad I was not on my own on this one! But it was a great experience. And in the end, we even got to a point from where we could see the glacier.
