Tuesday 13th May - Day 100
Not Fox's Glacier Mint
03.06.2008
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.
