The road west and then over a pass requires braving the clouds and rain to see the magnificent vistas of the West Coast. So with the k-ways and the umbrella as we prepare to go to the other side ... Approaching the famous saddle between the South Island in 2 opposite sides - Western underwater and Eastern under the sun, the sky is in charge, the rain threat, then at the top where the view would be wonderful, a few drops fall. Then back down by our greatest opportunity, the sun makes us pretty surprised to accompany us for some wonderful days exploring the coast of the wettest countries! In
southbound successive huge beaches whose only inhabitants are dried tree trunks stranded mountains whose summits are covered with snow, dense forests of tree ferns and other species worthy of populating the thickest jungles. Soon we arrive in the region the most accessible glaciers in the world. 
The Franz Joseph and Fox Glacier descend to an altitude of 300m, all that effort is not insurmountable for us to approach. Security measures prevent us from advancing to the point of touch, but never mind, it is impressive too far! Later, away little by little, the view expands to the entire Alps, and even Mount Cook unfolds and offers us the gift to be admired in a sky of perfect blue !
The next morning, along a short stroll around a lake, reflections on the water of the surrounding peaks make it a picture postcard.
The road then leads us still further south, this time to reach the lakes. Queenstown is the ideal place to rest a few bites of Sandfly (sand fly that has something to cripple the ankle a few days less sensitive) and recharge the batteries a little to start over again to other beautiful landscapes!
