    Flying (really) high

    April 2, 2024 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Finally, after dreaming of it for yonks, and after hours of practice on the flight simulator, I got to fly over New Zealand's Southern Alps from Wanaka to Milford Sound. I flew with Fox, one of U Fly Wanaka's instructors. He was able to rattle off the names of hundreds of waterfalls, lakes, ridges, glaciers and mountain peaks poking through the clouds. I wasn't taking much of that in though. Scenery doesn't get better than this, but you never get a decent picture from a plane.
    Dead chuffed. Can I have another, please?
