Murchinson to Franz Josef

From Murchinson we took a relaxed day of driving while making stops along the way to Franz Josef glacier. We stopped at the Buller Gorge swingbridge (although the ticket office was closed), saw the pancake rocks at Punakaiki, had a brewery tasting at Monteith's in Greymouth, slowed down for the mining town of Runanga, and strolled around Hokitika before pulling into Franz Josef just in time to catch the tail end of happy hour. Unfortunately, our good string of backpacker locations ran out here with some moron roommates and the loud bar at Rainforest Retreat (I'd try the YHA next time).
