A foxy time

The adventures continued on Sunday when we hiked the Fox Glacier further down the west coast...

Huge thank you's here to Giles, who bought us a ticket for our wedding present... and due to Abel Tasman's weather not allowing our canoeing adventures, we thought this an appropriate substitute... (and hope you don't mind!) so thank you also to Lyn & Spencer, Georgina and Jacquie!

Our Argentinian guide was fab, and our group of hiking buddies provided endless entertainment (seriously, who puts the cramp ons on with the spikes facing into your instep?!) along the way! Ciaran and I tried to come here last time, but due to bad weather the trips were cancelled, so I was thrilled to be back and especially when we woke up to blue skies! Wahoo!

The hike up to the Glacier was about 40 mins, then we very smugly walked past people at the 'STOP here, guided tours only beyond this point' sign, and hiked another 10 mins or so to the entrance to the Glacier... 

The end of the Glacier... Spot the ice climber...

The entrance, for us, to the Glacier... Fab!

And then we were off...!
...sooooooo blue!
Hurray! Good times had by all :)

Next adventure to follow soon! x x x
