New Zealand Day 13

New Zealand  Day 13    30.01.14

Woke up this morning to sunshine , no mist, no clouds and we were supposed to be moving.  So instead we telephoned the helicopter firm and booked on a flight for 9.00.  We packed pretty sharpish and were in town by 8.45.  We were supposed to have a 20 minute flight to Franz-Josef glacier but they put us into a 30 minute flight from Fox Village.  So we were flown to Fox picked up the other people then had a 30 minute flight to both glaciers and a stop on the F-J glacier  and then flown back to F-J village - MAGIC.

These were taken with the small camera but there are loads more with the big camera but they take ages to download onto the blog.  Look out when we get home we will be able to bore everyone for months.

We set out then for Murchison a small town on the way to Nelson. We didn't expect much of the trip but like everything else here it was great.  Places which if they were at home or France say would be heaving with people and campsites, tourist vendors etc were quiet and peaceful and UNSPOILT.

This is in the Buller Valley and although there was canoeing a bit further up it was so empty.
