Tuesday 13th May - Day 100

Not Fox's Glacier Mint

Yes, today is the hundredth day since I left England.

Today I get to walk over a glacier called, Fox Glacier. There are only two places in the world where temperate glaciers exist: Argentina and New Zeland. Walking over the ice isn't the hardest part of the walk, it's walking for three quarters of an hour up a mountain to get to it. We're given crampons to put on our walking boots to walk over the ice. It's almost a unique experience but not a difficult one to participate in. We're quite safe walking over what is basically a huge piece of ice.

It's a photo opportunity and a chance to drink pure meting ice water. An experience to remember.

We drive on to Wanaka.
