New Zealand: Fox Glacier and Wanaka 2

 
It fulfilled my image of a glacier. We drove to a nearby viewing area of Mt. Cook and then we were on the road again (this is our theme song, we sing it on a regular basis) headed to the town of Wanaka. We stopped in the town of Haast Junction for lunch and Matt mistakenly ordered a "whitebait" sandwich which turned out to be the world's most expensive fried egg sandwich.

New Zealand Green Fern Beer

 The brewery was really neat, all throughout our chat, customers were coming in and filling up all sorts of containers with beer, they would fill anything with beer. You can buy a flag-on which is about a one litre or a rigger which is about a 2 litre. The brewery is known for their "green fern" beer which is entirely organic so we opted for a few varietals including green fern. We had a light meal after Matt's strenuous liquid lunch and spent the night at the local holiday park.

New Zealand Miner's Brewery

 This particular stretch of beach really reminded me so much of the West Coast of Ireland. We drove back to town and after hunting down a simple sandwich (you would not believe how hard these are to come by) we went to the Miner's Brewery.

This is the real stuff, no poser beer here, and they take their work very seriously. The chap that served us was friendly as ever so we talked to him for awhile while Matt drank as quickly as possible (free "tastings" - he was chugging).
