Franz Josef Helicopter Ride

We decided that we would blow the expense and go on a helicopter ride to see the glaciers.  We opted for a snow landing as well.  It was great,  and something that we will both remember. 

It was odd to take off virtually straight up into the air. Despite moving around a lot in the air,  we were both fine.  K didn't feel sick.  We saw the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers, and flew quite close (so it seemed), to the summit of Mount Cook. 

We landed on the Franz Josef Glacier snow field and took some pictures. Other helicopters were arriving and doing the same thing. The whole thing only took about 40 minutes - but it was well worth it.
