We arrived at Franz Josef where we had the first day of rain and wasa freezing cold! We had planned to do the Glacier hike so the worst the day possible it could rain! We still decided to go ahead and do the hike after a talk on safety from the guide as the rain was due to get heavier and we werenot guarenteed to even see the glacier's as we had an hour hike through a rain forrest and across a river first! It ended up being only ten ofus that the hike which dropped from 35! But i'm so glad we did it as although is was pretty slippy and scary the views were amazing of the blue ice! We got completely soaked through our waterproofs and clothes and were very very cold and tired but well worth it!! :D
