Night life in Franz

So on this incredibly exciting saturday night i'm sitting in front of a computer at the youth hostel in Franz Josef. We were planning to go to the pub, have a few drinks and have some fun. But it appears that the night life here is non-existent. Weird seem as there are heaps of backpackers around. so instead we resorted to coming back here to check emails and such. A bit of a let down really :(
Today we left Christchurch at about twelve after I finally got home from work. It took about six hours to drive over here. We stopped at a few places on the way and took it slow but it was definitely good to arrive when we finally did.
Tomorrow we have an early start. Off to Lake Matheson for sunrise. Then to fox glacier briefly. Back to Franz glacier to have an explore. Then we want to be leaving here by two to be back over the Arthurs Pass road before dark. it sounds tiring just writing about it. Luckily I have another day off after that.
Hope other people's saturday nights are more exciting than mine!
