Seeing this is such a visually breathtaking part of the world I decided on doing a little sightseeing trip....We would have a great time taking up the Kiwi Moth ZK-BRC belonging to Mount Cook Flightseeing. Our short trip would take us away from NZMC, past the Hermatige Hotel then up to altitude and a fly past of Mount Cook itself. Then a 10-15 min trip north-west to the Franz Josef Glacier and into NZFJ.


Departing Mount Cook airport.


The Hermitage...I can highly recommend the rooms here...very nice! ;)


Winding through the mountains in a slow bid for altitude...


...and a flyby of Mount Cook :o


The rest of the area is worth seeing too as we begin our track for Franz Josef


Another breathtaking sight as we head down the glacier... B-)


A veiw of the valley from the glacier itself....just wonderful.

Next stop will be Tekapo from where we will head to Wanaka...hopefully right in time for the airshow? :rolleyes: :lol:

Cheers
Florian

Great choice of aircraft Florian!
Just enough distance to climb up to Mt Cook ;)
And just in time too - I read today that Tasman Glacier will be gone sooner than you know, due to global warming...

Umm its in Peter Lohrs Mount Cook scenery - you need to fly up the valley a bit.
