A day hike on Fox Glacier, Charlie and I had wanted to do it since we arrived in NZ, even better was to share the experience with Mum and dad. We started hiking at about 10am and didn't finish until about 4pm so it was a full day walking. On the way you get views up the valley towards the top of the glacier and it looks amazing. You start walking on it with crampons and it looks quite cool if not a little muddy because you are near the end where all of the moraine is dumped, the further you walk the bluer the ice gets and the more spectacular the crevasses get. Right at the end we came on this ice cave which was amazing, big enough you could stand all four of us in it. A brilliant experience and I think mum would say well worth the knee ache the following days!
It was here that we left mum and dad to do their own thing for a week or so while we headed back to Queenstown to work.
