We were in the safe hands of Bob, who didn't make jokes about only being a pilot for 20 minutes or anything. He was reassuringly about 50 and looked liked he was trained by the Royal Navy. This made me feel a lot safer as we did this...

We flew over Queenstown...

And landed on the top of the Remarkables, the range of mountains you can see from our hotel room, and where there was snow!

There was also an excellent view of the Southern Alps, in fact several excellent views of them, again, not done justice by the photos...

But we landed safely and we are off to Arrowtown this afternoon.

Ahhh!! The Remarkables - your idea for getting up there seems to be a vast improvement on our method.....Roger decided to drive up the side of it.....very reminisncent of Dad driving up the side of Snowdon....
