As mentioned a few hours ago today we went Heli Hiking :) Which, as previously stated was very cool (literaly) well actually t'was quite warm, and after a half hour of hiking we were stripping off layers as if it were a 40 degree day.
The helicopter ride was fantastic man it was so cool!! So after our warming glacier exploration we decided to go for a short forest walk equip with tourches to explore some local water caves/tunnels... well explore we did. On walking up the mountain we were rather delicate, however after our return from the tunnels where we literaly swam in glacial water (by swimming i refer to wading in ankle deep water with shoes and socks on) and boy was it cold, and we loved it, we lost all feeling and are legs became red and we thought we had frost bite, however; all this did not repel us from returning to the water not once not twice but three times and challenging eachother as to who could withstand the cold the longest (jen won) :) no surprise there :)
Well we can't upload the photos as the computer is poo, and wont let us :( alas, we will try out hardest to do so ASAP!!!!
Next stop Wanaka speak soon
