Pouring down in Wanaka and reports that road closed between Haast and Franz Josef by landslide. Petrol $2.51 per litre for 91. Luckily a local said go to McKeweons $2.15. Picked up two hitchers Taylor and Ilias. They were going to work at the place we were going to stay Rainforest Retreat in Franz Josef. Torrential rain through mountains to Haast. Fine for 30 mins while we had a break then more rain. Landslides being cleared and we just got through.
Resort was fun. Lots of backpackers, kitchen and spa. Cleared and evening and we went with Christina to see glacier. Road closed and bridge over raging torrent of a river.
Next morning raining again but road open to glacier. Two good walks towards glacier but couldn't get close because of flooding.
