Scenery, scenery and glaciers wow!!!
... we checked at the helicopter booking office and after much phoning round to ensure a full flight it was on. We were taken to a helipad in a field down the road for our 30 minutes flight over Fox glacier with a landing on the snowfield above the glacier. It was absolutely stunning as you could see the glacier properly unlike when we walked up the previous day. It was great to land on the snowfield itself. We were so lucky to get this ...

A few shots & a lot of laughter later & it was time for me to get to ...
Fox Glacier
Today we were up early ish, stopping at Franz for a petrol top up. We then carried on our way to the Fox Glacier, it was again another cloudy drizzly day so we couldn't see the alps. After a small and windy drive we arrived at the fox car park where we kitted ourselves out ready to go, making sure we had our waterproofs as it was drizzling.
