Dinner at Alice May's, Franz Joseph Glacier, NZ


After our long day on the glacier, we had dinner at Alice May's Cafe....this was the best dinner, best wine, best dessert, best fireplace, best quaint little restaraunt!! We were starving and really enjoyed the whole experience. We found this little tidbit about who Alice May is.....

Alice May--in the early 1900's Alice May became pregnant from her lover, had a stillborn child and he didn't honor their engagement. So she shot him. Four times. Unsucessfully turned the gun on herself. She was imprisoned for 6 years. The locals petitioned to have her released and she eventually was released into the custody of her mother. She remarried a local man, politician or business man or something and had 6 children. Alice May became a household name.
