At exactly 9:00 everyone was out and waiting in the lobby to see what the day had in store for us and we all knew that the day was going to be long with a lot of travelling in the bus.
We made an unexpected stop at the "Dwarf Cliffs" where all of the boys made the short but steep climb to the top so that we could all take photos at the top. Though we didn't stay long it was great fun and a good surprise.
After that we made our way to the National Park where we were to make a very difficult and not to mention, long, walk. The amount of complaint from some people was almost funny at times but the view at the top was more than worth the effort. With a clear view of the glacier tongue and and even clearer view of the icecap. Some ventured down to the top of the cliff while others remained in the safety of the cliff, a little further inwards.
Following this, we made our way to the ice lagoon where a boat was waiting for us, ready to take us on our trip of the lagoon. Everyone was exilirated as the boat made its way around with its passengers, us, looking round in excitement, trying to spot something out of the ordinary. This continued to occur until someone managed to spot an iceberg flipping as it was breaking down into smaller parts. Not much happened afterwards and all were unhappy as our journey on the boat came to an end.
Finally, we drove over to the beach on the other side of the road. Everyone tore down the beach, running towards the grounded icebergs and the sea. Many climbed on the icebergs whilst others took photos of them posing on top of them. To end the day, many played a game where the players had to sprint and touch icebergs which were being touched by the waves and get away before the waves caught up. As you can probably guess, this just ended up with everyone soaking wet and ready to get back on the bus and travel home.
It was a brilliant day and I am ready for another early start and whatever tomorrow has in store for us!
