Went out walking with G & T (not the drink!) up to the glacier face in Rob Roy Valley. Drive there interesting (not in the camper van) but it was all unsealed roads and 5 fords which were getting deeper as we came home. The walk was 6km of amazing scenery but lots of up! Through rainforests following a beautiful glacial river with bird song all the way. Rich pulled a bird at the lunchstop - a very greedy kea! It was after his sarnies. Could not have found a more lovely place for lunch - overlooking the glacier itself and the very, very white snow. Saw a small avalanche as it was melting rather rapidly.
Got back to campsite very tired and made the boys eat salad for tea - they were not amused (but enjoyed it really!). Rich and Gord booked a climb in the morning with Wanaka Rock.
