Went to book a heli-hike but fully booked so we also had to wait until 1.00pm for a scenic heli flight and landing taking in the 2 glaciers around Mt Cook, very booked up at the moment because the weather has not been good so no flights for last couple of days but today is a beautiful sunny day.
Spent the morning doing a walk around Lake Mathieson which was great with some good reflections of the mountains in the lake until it was time for our flight.
Only the 2 of us in a fairly small helicopter but very comfortable. What a fantastic experiance zooming close to the mountain face and popping over ridges with superb views. Landed high up on top of the mountain area and walked about a bit on the snow, brilliant. We will never forget it.
After we drove on up the coast to just past Hokitika where we stayed for the night in a lovely house with 2 other couples with drinks before dinner and a 4 couse dinner all together cooked by the hosts. All went outside to watch a beautiful sunset and continued with the banter and wine inside. What a good day.
