On Saturday I got a birds eye view of Mt. Cook. At around 12,500 feet above sea level it's the highest mountain in NZ. I flew with Phillip and the family down to Glentanner which is where the Heli-base is for the helicopter he flies. It was due for scheduled maintenance so we flew one down and brought another back. About 30 minute flight down there. And we took the long way home and flew right around Mt. Cook, Fox and Franz Glaciers and back home.(Thats headquarters in the last photo) It was a crystal clear day which was nice. The thing that I found most stunning was that you can see the ocean to the west and east! Looking across the width of NZ! Amazing. In the third photo you can see part of the west coast. It is one of those things that photos just can't do justice to. We're on our fifth day in a row of sunny days. Been in the high 50's to low 60's. but that's supposed to change Wednesday with another cold front supposed to be bringing some snow. But that's OK because spring is nearly here. The days are really starting to get noticeably longer which is nice. On Saturday the grass got mown for the first time!! And I seen the first daffodil starting to bloom today!
