And so we, the very adventurous family, went on for a hike on the glaciers

actually, just walking on the very front part of the glacier =p

And why I said family?

We were at the visitor center for the glacier and it costs usd15 for adults, usd12.50 for seniors:
Lady to 老板: Are you 65 and above?
老板: ...
(with sorrowness in his eyes, 老板 turned to us and couldn't say anything (no he is not that old... =p))
Lady: Oh I'm so sorry... I don't mean that, I mean this is just a procedure...
老板: Yeah, and these are my sons and daughters.
me: I'm the grandaughter =D


老板

later...
me: You should have said yes, you can save usd2.50 yo!
老板: Pride has got a price...
老板: If it's usd5 I would say yes =D
me: ...

so cute right =p

Neway, we all know the lady is really just doing what she has to or else she could get into trouble for misinformation.

So, we all paid full price. Pictures below =D

Finally the glacier =D:



at the front part of the glaciers - covered by muds and is really sticky. If you keep digging you would meet the ice.


muddy muddy - caused by soil fell from the neighbouring mountains


closer look - see the blue-ish ice underneath?


we didn't have the right shoes so it's quite difficult to move around


those are the professional ones






suichabo once more! =D
(readers: where? where? kenot find eh...)

zoomed at 200mm =D







views are superb, aren't they?

had 25cents bottomless (means free refill lah) coffee in eureka lodge


and if you know me well... I don't drink coffee ToT

So, I hiked walked on the glacier =D I know... not very exciting cause I didn't really hike to the deeper part... maybe next time then if I get to go to the fox glacier in New Zealand south island =D
