What an another amazing day?? The answer is yes, NZ just gets better & better! This morning peeked out of the curtains fearful of what we might see but as they say here "No worries" Blue sky and a few puffy clouds over Mount Cook. Eagerly we head off the the town to book in for our trip. A bit too eager as we have to wait but not for long. We are soon transported to the helicopter & are up in the air before you can say lift off! Ian & I have the trip to ourselves (and the pilot of course) which is an added bonus and can recommend the company to anyone else who is thinking of coming here! We fly over Fox, Franz & Tasman Glacier then 3 other smaller ones. We circle round the mountain peaks, I will need to put the names in later. landing on an ice cap we have chance to speak to the pilot who is really friendly & points out all the sights and takes our photo's. Back on board we circle around Mount Cook. Ian has finally got his photo, mind you we were so close at one stage I thought we could reach out & touch it! After a good 45 mins we landed back in Fox - another first for us.
Later on we drove to Franz Joesph where we walked up to the glacier it was absolutely huge, people were completely dwarfed by it. Any twitchers watching we saw a Tom Tit and some Silvereye's today.
