Franz Josef glacier and nearby sights

We stayed in a holiday park in Hokitika and drove south along route 6 to see the glaciers.
Along the way, we passed some sheep. We did this a lot, actually.
The parking lot at Franz Josef glacier was positively tropical, full of thick leafy vegetation.
The glacier itself was a bit cooler.
On the way back to Hokitika, we stopped numerous times for pictures of the scenary: mountains...
... fields ...
... and more sheep.
Twilight from the speeding car.
