Franz Josef Glacier & Sentinel Rock
30 September 2024, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
After a late-ish start, Trev and I went to see the glacier and found that the path to the glacier viewpoint (where, in 2016, I was able to walk across the valley and rivers to go to a much closer glacial viewpoint) had been washed away after a big storm in 2019. We went as far as we safely could and then went to Sentinel Rock, not far away 😀😀😀😀 Still absolutely gorgeous!

We were watching the helicopters taking people to the higher points on the glacier and surrounds which gave us an idea....Baca lagi

Glacial Helicopter Ride!!
30 September 2024, New Zealand ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Our brilliant idea was to see if we can get our own helicopter ride to the glacier! Today was a beautiful sunny day and we hadn't booked any flights so we thought it was a bit of a longshot but we tried anyway!

There are several helicopter companies in Franz Josef and we looked into Glacier Country Helicopters and were lucky enough to book a 25 minute flight with snow landing! $325 each and we were on our way! Well worth every cent and so glad we did it!! I got to sit in the front even!! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 One of the best 25 minutes of my life!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜Baca lagi

Glacial Helicopter Ride Pt 2!!
30 September 2024, New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
We travelled from the heliport to the Middleton Glacier and landed there!! We walked on a glacier! We flew over the top of Franz Josef Glacier and saw the crevasses and ice caves. Such beauty!!! We saw Aoraki/Mt Cook and Mt Tasman right in front of us 💜💜💜💜💜💜 I got a bit too curious about a hole in the glacier and was called back....it was a 20ft deep cravass!! Oops!!!Baca lagi

We saw Rowi Kiwi's!! These are the rarest Kiwi's in the world with less than 600 in their population. We couldn't take photos as they are nocturnal creatures. So beautiful 💜💜💜💜

There were wonderful glacier displays informing how a glacier is formed and gorgeous dinosaur-related Tuatara!! They are adorable!! 😀😀😀😀Baca lagi

This is so beautiful! We are back in the Southern Alps (my favourite place I think!) and it's perfect 💜

Our second last night in this amazing country and we are in the bar (named The Crafty Moa!) of the Bealey Hotel (established 1865), our accommodation, where we have a gorgeous little studio apartment, playing cards near the fire at table 42. Perfect!

We just had a lovely walk by the Waimakariri River and I have read that gold was discovered here in 1864.Baca lagi

We wanted to go to Mt Hutt to the ski area, however the road was closed, so we went to the Village instead for a little break 😀 Cute little village

We are staying at the Novatel Christchurch Airport and it's in a perfect location - right next to the airport. I saw a gorgeous Emirates A380 take off right in front of me 💜💜💜 We had a lovely dinner at the Food Exchange restaurant on level 6 and came back and watched a movie. 9 hours left in New Zealand. We will be back! 😀😀😀😀😀Baca lagi
