The Story
Woke in Hans Bay, pouring rain - worried we'd get bogged but made it out easy! Stopped at the gorge - couple of swing bridges, amazing water colour. Great lunch at Snake Bite Pub. Quick dive in to see the glacier - very cool, short walk. Fox Glacier campsite, washing while boys bounced on trampolines.
