Since the last post the weather at Franz Joseph didn't improve enough to catch a helicopter up to the ice, so I had to walk up instead. Fox Glacier (mints) just down the road had better weather, so I was able to catch a ride on a chopper to about half way up, despite the cloud blanketing the top of the valley (see photos in the usual place some time in the future).
It was then on to Wanaka for another flight, but this one was cramped, and the food was terrible, so I got out early.
At around 15,000 feet it was a bit of a jump, but I did survive (and I've got the DVD and T-shirt to prove it). I got my revenge on flying things today by shooting some inocent plastic disks with a shotgun.
