Franz Josef Glacier...Day 4...

This is what we woke up to this morning, with heavy rain & very low cloud..Greg had booked a helicopter trip with a snow landing but because of the weather it was postponed...We may be able to do it tomorrow but as of tonight it is looking unlikely...

"Smoke on the Water"

And again, it is caused by the temperature of the water ....

That's the Glacier, I did get confused with a iceberg but I think I now know that we are not going to see one here...

Stylish $2.99 poncho's we should have paid the extra $1 & got the one with sleeves...

Another part of the glacier...By this time it was raining & we were getting very wet....








Just to the right on this photo you can see where the rocks were sliding down & making white marks as they came down heavily...




Our beautiful backpacker accomodation, thanks to Expeadia for taking our booking & money but not passing it on to the 2 bedroom apartment that we thought we were booked into...There were no vacancy's anywhere so because the helicopter was postponed we needed to stay here just incase we can fly up there tomorrow....
