Fox?s Glacier Mints
I adore all things minty and I especially like to smell nice minty fresh breath. This is one thing in particular I take pride in and I can always be trusted to have a bag or a packet of mints in my handbag at all times. There was a special offer on in Tesco?s within the last couple of weeks for these Fox?s Glacier mints on a buy one get one free type option.
Of course at only £1.25pence for these two fairly large bags of mints I snapped them up and was well pleased with such a great purchase. They were intended for the car?s glove compartment but I ended up having them mostly at the bottom of my handbag. They have the usual packaging for the famous Fox? s Glacier mints and that consists of a large blue bag which houses around 70 mints individually wrapped inside blue paper wrappers.
These mints can ...
Advantages: Challenging, amazing views, doing something you will never forget! Disadvantages: Cold!
Franz Josef glacier is on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. Nowhere else in the world, at this latitude, have glaciers advanced so close to the sea. High snow fall on the tops of the mountains becomes compact and turns to ice, this ice is then forced down the mountain and is what causes the glacier to move.

***Franz Josef town***
Franz Josef is a small town and very 'touristy' - it wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the thousands of people coming to hike on the glaciers each week. It is a bit more expensive here than in the bigger towns so fill up the car with fuel and change any foreign money before you get here if possible. There are plenty of cafes, restaurants, pubs, hotels and backpackers to cater for the tourists. I stayed in ...
Advantages: Great weather can be combined with an icy experience on a glacier Disadvantages: i live so far away!!
The magnificent Franz Josef Glacier is widely regarded as the gem of New Zealand's West Coast Glaciers.
Franz Josef Glacier has many tour groups that are able to give you the opportunity to experience the most spectacular glacier environment available to the general public anywhere in the world, offering a range of glacier hiking tours to suit all levels of fitness and ability. Franz Josef Glacier is located on the West cost of New Zealand's south island and is one of the most spectacular sights there is. This was the 1st glacier I have ever seen and what a sight it was.
In order to get to it you have to take a 10minute walk to get a good view and another 20 minutes to get to the base! The public however cannot go onto the glacier without a guide. That is where the guide companies come in.
I spent 2days in the little town ...
