Hi all,
Just an update on what we have been doing:
We went to Queenstown which was lots of fun and went on the shotover jet, its a very fast speed boat on the shotover river. The boat was lots of fun and we got completely drentched!!! i have some photos which i shall show you when we're home.
After that we went to Fox Glacier which was pritty. We did a guided hike up the glacier which was good but hard work. It took nearly 2 hours of walking before we reached the ice on the glacier. Again we have lots of photos to show of the amazing experiance.
After that we went to Franz Josef glacier which is 25 km away from the fox glacier. Today we went on quad bikes which was really good. You got to go through river beds that was laid by the glacier, and then through lots of grassland and then through the rain forest. There was lots of mud and big puddles!!! It was good but also very scary as i wasnt that good at controling it and had a few hair raising moments!!!
We really want to do a heli - hike when we are here but the weather hasnt been too great here, the helicopter wont go if low cloud etc and so they keep cancelling.
Fingers crossed they will let us go up tomarrow morning, i've never been in a helicopter so im looking forward to that!! Also it will be great to go back on the glacier.
take care
