Glacier climb & possum pies

6/5/10
Today we headed to Franz Josef where you could climb the glacier! On the way stopped off at a bizarre little shop which sold possum pies!!! – like chicken pies but slightly blander? Very interesting though!
 
Arrived at the glacier and as we only had one day to stay there the majority of us did the half-day hike. We all got kitted up in hiking boots/socks/gloves/waterproofs/clampons (attachable boot studs to keep you on the ice. It was actually so much better than I anticipated and I really enjoyed it :D Spent the evening in the hostel where they supplied free popcorn and evening soup so snuggled up infront of ‘Iron Man’ on the beanbags and tucked into my dinner!
