West Coast Trip: Day Off

A couple of fun activities occured on our day off while at Bruce Bay Marae -- Mt. Fox climb and a view of another glacier, Franz Joseph. The Mt. Fox group found themselves practically climbing up roots and vines to get to the top, ending with unfortunate accident of a broken leg. While they were working out their quads others of us went and did a few other activities. We hiked around a lake and found ourselves observing 2 long eels for quite awhile and then made our way to Franz Joseph for another little adventure. The river was a bit high so much river crossings and hopping around on rocks happened in order to get a good view of the glacier-- we even found a nice chunck of ice to conquer. All in all, despite some injuries, everyone had a good day with stories to tell.
