Trip to the Glaciers - Wed. Oct 21st

Wednesday started off - with a little rain, wind and numerous stops on our way down to the glacier region of the South Island. We did not bring warm clothes....so a few of us had to make some purchases... Before we tried to attempt the glaciers; we also needed to get some hearty local Bushmans food to keep us warm. The first and only Glacier we visited on Wednesday was the Franz Josef Glacier, we will attempt the Fox Glacier on Thursday... your Wednesday. We have to apologize for not answering many of your questions from your daily comments....we usually either do not have the answer or we forgot what you did ask. One of the questions that we remember was what region were we drinking in and which wineries. We are in New Zealand and we were in somewhere between 6 and 10 wineries. And all of the wine that we bought for all of you....which you wanted us to bring back...we put in shipping boxes label the box.....reopened the box and drank the wine with some New Zealand cheese.....sorry. Another popular question is....What are we eating? Here is what we ate today: Breakfast....coffee, tea, juice & water....fruit....2 people ordered pancakes and there were 4 with eggs. Lunch....water, soda & beer....4 had fish and chips, one cheese sandwich and a hamburger. Cocktail hour was a bottle of wine and some cheese. Dinner started with a bottle of wine, beer....3 salads and 1 soup....then 2 ordered lamb curry, 3 ordered rip-eye steak and there was 1 pasta....Desert was 3 vanilla sundaes, 2 beers, and Gordon finished off the bottle of wine.
