So we woke up bright and early this morning to hike Franz Josef. They advise you to bring 4-5 warm upper body layers, quick drying trousers (not jeans). Everything else they will provide.
Darren left the camper this morning looking like he'd been dragged backwards through a dressing up box:
Feet - Two pairs of contrasting stripy socks, the yellow and brown pair pulled down slightly lower to reveal the lime green and black. Yellow, red and blue DC trainers.
Legs - a pair of beige Adidas swimming trunks
Top - a red and black stripy jumper with a black death-metal style t-shirt pulled over the top.
I love my handsome fiancée!
The hiking itself was far more energetic than either of us expected it to be and with hindsight, were quite thankful that the full day tours were booked up. We were taken on a 2.5km power walk to the Glacier 'Terminal' (base) and then spent 4 1/2 hours negotiating treacherous walls of ice. The views we got were spectacular once again and was well worth the trip.
We were back in normal clothes by about 2pm and we've just cruised through the winding roads and arrived at Fox for the night.
