We had a bit of a rocky start to Franz Joseph. We were 4 people from our bus who was doing the Heli Hike whcich is a 20 minute helicopter flight up to the galicer (dad you would have LOVED this) 2 hours on the glacier and then 20 minutes back down again. There were some other people from our bus doing a half day walk up the mountain up to the glacier.
When we got to the place to check in they started out by telling us our driver had not booked us in and there where no more spots availableL After a bit back and forward they finally got us on the helicopter. It was a hot day but because its not hot on a glacier we had to wear all this clothes boots jackets they told us to wear 4 layers of tops as well but at the end of the day im glad we didn't. All though it's a glacier it was actually hot. When we first got up there we were a bit cold because we had to wait 20 minutes for the last helicopter to drop people of in total we were 4 helicopters.
When we were ready we had to put on something called crampons they are big spikes on your boots they where pretty coolJ
Well I cant really explain what it looked like up there besides amazing. Once we started to crawl into caves the colour was like nothing you have seen before. You need to see the photos even though its not at all justified. On our walk it was Michael, Nat, Jess and me and we has so much fun. The 2 girls have now been on our bus for over a week and especially Michael and Nat are like having 2 little children with us so Jess and me try to keep the children under control J So much fun.
Ok next stop Queenstown and lots more stuff to do plus Michaels bungy jump muhahahaha
