After breakfast we headed back in to town to see if we could book the glacier walk, when we got in to the booking office there was loads of other people in there which we assumed were waiting to set off on their trip. When we said what we wanted to book it turned out that everyone was waiting to hear whether the helicopters would be flying today. We hung around for a short while before someone came in and said that they wouldn't be flying today as it was too wind...

We decided to check out the Glacier Hot Pools today, when we got there though they didn't open until lunch time so we headed in to town to have a look at the Glacier tours. It was really foggy and cold today and apparently now you can't get to the glacier without a helicopter. So because of the conditions they weren't running any of the tours today other than the walking one where you just walk to a viewpoint where you can see the glacier but not I on it. You can...

The winery was huge, at first we couldn't find the 'cellar door' as they call it, where you go for the wine tasting! W...

Adam got up early this morning and went to the gym, Sunshine had told him about a gym at the university campus where if he just walked in like he was supposed to be there no-one would say anything, so that's what he did! It was surprisingly comfy sleeping on Sunshine floor and when Adam came back from the gym I felt like I'd fallen back asleep for ages! Luckily neither of us felt hungover, Sunshine said that she felt a bit rough! We left Sunshine's house and head...
