Rained Out

So, I'm writing this up from Franz Josef and not from where I should be standing ice axe in hand on the Glacier proper.

It rains 2/3 days here and heavy rain overnight plus a minor earthquake at 5am has meant that a river now runs in front of the glacier and makes our 3/4 day hike impossible.

Sarah (Welsh), Cindy (German), Marcus (English) and I are all very disappointed.

We'd prefer to be in Barrytown quite frankly, there is nothing to do in Franz Josef when the rain comes.

The Monsoon Cafe puts it best.

"It rains... We pour"

And the Franz Josef Glacier guides have the best assessment of the weather coming up in the next few days.

"Wet Wet Wet through to Saturday"

We'll be in Stewart Island then, which is apparently like Barrytown on drugs.

Sweet as bro'
