A trip to visit friends so we took more time to do the tourist thing.

Day 2, Better weather

We took the first walk
Well, the weather is better but our helicopter flight has been cancelled as the weather is not good for joy flights. Well time to go on one of those glacier walks. We chose the one that went up to the lookout rather than the one to the base. The reason being that we had walked on a glacier in Alaska. Boy the walks are sure to get you and keep you fit in New Zealand! Took lots of photos. Love the fact that there is a Glacier that meets a rainforest! Then of course there is the waterfalls everywhere. Back in town we gave up on a helicopter flight but found a small plane that was still doing flights but of course not landings on the snow. We took this flight about 45-50 minutes and we were the only passengers! Again what can I say, the views! We could have been up in the air longer but Andrew had to get back to go on a quad bike ride that he had booked. He had a good time. After dinner it was time to unwind as we are off again tommorrow.
