Boots, check. Socks, check. Crampons, check. Raincoat, check. Done! Saw the glacier for the first fime. Woa! It took about an hour to get to the face of the glacier.. Much longer tnan you expect! Crampons on! No need to worry about slipping! The Franz Josef Glacier walk was amazing! But pretty cold! I had to put in my coat and hat.. Wish I had gloves! The whole way round the guide as picking away at the ice! Keeping the track in good condition! So we didn't go to the summit... That would have taken forever... We did a big loop of part of the glacier! Even climbed through a tunnel! Was bloody cold!
On the road again! Fox Glacier then Lake Matheson where you can supposedly see the reflection of Mount Cook........ *At the right time of day*. So we didn't see the reflection, but we did see postcards of it... Pretty sweet! Back on the road again via Haast Pass... To Wanaka! It would have been so much easier if I was 21 or older. Em has to do all the driving!
*SKYDIVE*
*Freefall at 200kph*
It was AMAZING! No nerves or anything! Signed our lives away, jumpsuits on. then met my tanden.... Then you're in the plane before you even realise it! Decided to make a video of my first skydive. It's pretty good! The views going up were soo good! Snow on top of the mountains, Lake Wanaka, Lake Hawea.... Then the parachute goes up.. A little painful- harness.. As all the turns are made! Landing! Twas pretty good really! And that was that. Defo the best thing we did in NZ!
Wanaka is really nice. It even has a funky little cinema... It only has sofas for seats, you can have your tea whilst watching the film or have it waiting for you at the interval! Loved it!
It was actually quite hot when we were in Wanaka! Lucky us!
