Fox Glacier


Both fell at this point, so natural

Morning

After a pint and half of Montieths Golden Brew we managed to sleep through the sound of the rain bouncing of the camper all night!!
Our first attempt at the heli-hike planned for 0900hrs was cancelled due to poor weather.  So left hanging around hoping the weather improves enough to take flight at 1200hrs.
To fill the time walked around the "mirror lake" and in the middle of town watched what we think were parrots, crossing the road (very strange sight in deed!!)
Unfortunately, the weather did not improved and we had to down grade from heli-hike to foot-hike onto the glacier.  However it was still awesome and unbelieveable to be walking on a glacier in the middle of rain storm.
