I spent a couple of nights in the small alpine town of Franz Joseph. Known for their glaciers,
hiking and helicopter tours.
I have been battling an injured knee so opted for the helicopter tour as opposed to the glacier hike. It was my first time in one and it was surprisingly comfortable and smooth.
The chopper took us over the 3 highest mountains of NZ and we landed on a glacier to take photos. We were lucky with the clear weather as the clouds started to roll in just after we returned.

I got a little "snap-happy" with the camera.....I think you will be able to see why with all this natural beauty!
