Today Jono, Tania and Julz went ice climbing on Fox Glacier for the entire day (starting at 8am). Initially Tania was going to do a “helihike” which would have avoided any strenuous activity however due to the weather conditions it was cancelled. It was an unforgettable experience. We had a fantastic guide, and another guy (Vic) from Israel came with us.

By the time we returned to the campervan we were absolutely exhausted. Our feet had all started to swell (plastic boots are a killer!) and despite our great time we were not in a state to look after ourselve. Mieneke took care of us so well when we got back that we were even calling her “mummy” for that night.
