Day 2 - we climbed Franz Joseph Glacier.

The joining instructions said we needed a little bit of fitness - hell fire - what they should have said is - "you need a top grade in climbing glaciers!!!". We had no idea how physical this would be and there were lots of very sore legs for the rest of this week!




These pictures are of the glacier from street level - can you believe how high this is!!!



















































New Zealand - 1st Day


We flew to Christchurch and then drove to Franz Joseph - huge drive but we couldn't beleive the breath taking scenery - and this was just the start!!








Steven and Cathal came to town - great to see you guys.


After a day in Noosa then a (very drunken) night in Brisbane, we set off for the South Island of New Zealand - what an awesome week
