The campsite at Okarito came well recommended to us. It is away from the hustle and bustle of Franz Josef and Fox Glacier and was beside a beautiful beach.

| Hmm ... not on this trip. My last trip to South Island 15 years ago kayaking with a bunch of crazy Royal Marines and RN sailors. |
 |
| Seems a good place for a campfire |
 |
| I like beaches |
 |
| Me too. |

| The NZ Department of Conservation is quite keen to keep its tourists safe. This was a great sign. |
 |
| Note the ranger from the picture above. Also cuts down on HR costs. |

| The view was well worth the hike to look down to Franz Josef Glacier |
 |
| Always a chance to work on your pull ups. |
 |
| More danger ! |
