2- Should I visit both Franz Joseph and Mt Cook or one of them? which one is more worth visiting and staying?
3- Which is better to stay Franz Joseph or Fox Glacier?
4- Will FWD/2WD (such as Cherry Tiggo 4 Ultimo/Toyotal Corolla Hatchback) be enough for this mid of May trip?
5- is it a must to carry chains in my car all the time or only before Milford should I hire from somewhere??
