Hamner Springs, Arthurs Pass and Franz Joseph
We took it pretty easy on the south island but a few notables worth mentioning were the natural thermal pools of Hamner springs, Arthurs Pass and Franz Joseph Glaciers. Unfortunately, we missed the ski season by less than 3 weeks which would have been a blast but we did however get to see the yellow mountains on the way to Hamner springs and we did hike Arthurs pass which came from a recommendation from the priest Father Dan from St Mary’s church in Rangoria. We followed his advice and drove 3 hours to the pass. Unfortunately it was a rainy and overcast day but the scenery was fantastic. My only regret was that we did not get to see the Franz Joseph Glacier which is arguably one of the most beautiful in the world. We now have the perfect excuse to come back.
