You Want Me To Do Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

We didn’t get to do the heli flight over Franz Josef (so I didn’t think I would have to face my small aircraft fear again on this trip) but on a spectacular day in Lake Wanaka Linz made a snap decision to phone Aspiring Helicopters at lunchtime and organised a flight for 3.30pm the same day.

James said this about Australian skiing visitors: We drop ‘em at the top, we pick ‘em up at the bottom and we do that all day till they run out of money!

We didn’t ask for this photo but James just took my camera off me and started clicking so here we are on top of the world
