07Oct13 - Starts off with bit of rain and arrive at Hermitage Hotel. We then have to change bus and walk 20-30 minutes to take boat. On the way walking there, we saw rainbow which lasts through our ride on the Glacier. Sun comes out. Have to wear the stiff and heavy life jacket for safety. Is Cold along the whole trip.

The Glacier has been exposed to air for too long and has changed white, the grey. We are lucky to catch glimpse of the original blue colour at bottom of some of the floating glacier. The crystal are cool and clear under the sun which looks amazing.

After boadt trip, we head back to Hermitage Hotel for Buffet lunch. See photos attached under restaurant commentary.
