I leave for New Zealand in two weeks… I can’t wait. I have never been to the South Island and the International Antarctic Centre in Christchurch and the Franz Josef Glacier are both on the top of the list! I thought i better get some educational insight to the Antarctic and then have a trek on a glacier to test the cold. I have done a day trip on a glacier ten years ago when I went to Chile and Patagonia for a Scout Jamboree and it was fantastic. We are hiring a car and planning to travel right through Christmas. If anyone has any tips or suggestions of where to go please let me know! I will endeavour to keep updating this blog while I am away.
