We made a campers breakfast of milky porridge, with a lovely cup of sugary tea. The porridge oats tasted a little weird but smothered with sugar, it was all good! I was desperate for a shower again as we hadn't stayed in a campsite for two nights and probably weren't later so we found a lot cal swimming pool to see if we could use their showers. The guy at reception seemed a little shocked at my request but offered us both showers for a dollar each, absolute barg...

My alarm went off at 6.30am, I felt knackered! We tried to dress inside in Campervan and climb awkwardly over to the front drivers and passenger seats to avoid having to leave the car due to the horrendous about of sand flies. After I cocked my leg up over the high bar in between the bed in the back and the passenger seat, I flopped down the other side to find a man staring at me do so from outside of my window.

We made breakfast of peanut butter and jam toast, something Matt loves and is slowly getting me into. We also put on our first ...

We woke up around 7.30am in order to get ready for our big climb. On making our way to the DOC site toilets, Matt realised our camping table had been stolen and the car next to us had gone. We were sure it wouldn't be much money to replace but it was still a bit of a blow all the same. We weren't going to let a small thing like that ruin our day so we got ready and headed to Franz Josef for our Ice Explorer tour. The weather didn't look too bad at that point bu...
