New Zealand Trip 2022 Day 8 Part 1 ~ Gillespies Beach, Lake Matheson

Day 8 started with us calling to check on the Heli Hike status at Fox Glacier. Unfortunately, it is also canceled so we couldn't go on our Heli Hike :( Not even close to the glacier.


Breakfast was also very meh. Prob won't go for Scenic Hotel again. 
Smoked Salmon Ben.


Turkey's pancakes.


Add ons of mushrooms and sausages. 


We set off to Fox Glacier. Dropped by the service provider again to check if any chance of flying later the day but no luck. Just look at the clouds.. :(


So I had initially wanted to visit the Fox Glacier Lookout, but we missed it as it was under construction. And drove all the way in to the Gillespies Beach as it was a one-way road where we cant Uturn.

And since we already drove all the way in, we decided to have a walk around.










And when we drove back, we stopped by the supposed Fox Glacier Lookout. Which is just a open space lol.


The glacier hiding behind the clouds.





Time to hit the must-visit from Turkey's friend - Lake Matheson.


Cafe.





Start of the loop walk. 





























Continue spamming photos at the lake lol. 




























Time for a light lunch before we continue our drive down to Wanaka!



Bacon and Egg Pie.


Chicken Ramen
Grilled chicken, crunchy vegetables, green tea noodles, spiced broth, edamame beans, shallots


Not really ramen, tbh but ok la.


Chocolate chip cookies to end the meal! 


 After lunch, we continued our journey down south.
