Woodend camp

Woodend camp

“The wheels on the bus go round and round” chanted all the children, we sang and sang to finally we had come to a holt. 

We all started to pile out of the bus and started to rummage around to try find our bags. 

By the time we had found our bags we had set off to our cabin, “The Spice Girls”, as we had named it. Luckily our cabin was straight next to the toilets. So that fixes the long night walk to the bathroom. 

After the “Who's on top bunk” debate was over we headed out to get ready for our first meal, morning tea. There were piles of lollie cake, chocolate Brownies and cakes coated with icing. 

I hope next time I go, will be just as fun.

Trip to the glaciers

Trip to the glaciers 

It was one of those bitter cold days in Franz-Josef that my family decided to see the glaciers. When we arrived I shut the car door a huge gust of icy wind whizzed past my frozen face. The time was already 10:00 so we decided to set off. We walked past massive chunks of ice cubes, some were floating around on chilled out rivers like stranded ice islands. It had already been 2 hours before we reached a gigantic look out based on a iced cliff face. I decided to have a good look around to get my barrings. I stumbled over nervously to the metal rails, then I took a snippet of a look down. It felt like I was standing on at least 50 skyscrapers. I felt this seedy feeling wash over me. Well that's all I can remember about Franz Josef.
