Queenstown....Day 10,,,,,,

The boys up the front with the pilot on the way to the snow....

Queenstown airport as we took off.....

The Shotover, pity we didn't jet boat on it, but because of the weather they didn't run for 2 days....

Over the mountains, the snow is from yesterday & there is not much left....

Another helicopter had already landed on the snow, it was mad when it took off above us...

Dan & I


The boys & I.....

Instrument panel in the helicopter....





See the tracks in the mountains, there a crazy mountain bike riders & trampers that do those.....Not my idea of fun, but hey we are all different....

The Hilton Hotel...Queenstown...

Add caption



Yep, either of those planes would be nice please.....

These are out of order the boys did some jet sking in the morning....You had to be 15 to ride one by yourself but they said Ethan could control it as long as he had someone on the back....Hahaha Greg drew the short straw...I found a Poodle to pat & sat in the sun.....Bliss

Greg & Ethan

Dan had his going great guns & used a tank of petrol in the time he had it out....



Doesn't Dan look like Ethan in this photo....or vice versa...

Sorry about the order, before we took off...

The Shotover River.....


Melting snow...

Hahahaha, I can run this is the proof....

The waterfall was from all the melting snow....





We were to go parasailing but it got cancelled because of the wind..We could go at 7.00am tomorrow but I think that we have too much to do as we need to leave by 10.00am to go to Milford Sound...Some of the roads were damaged due to flooding & rock falls so some parts may be a bit slow....They have told us to allow at least 4.5 hours to get there....There are markets on in the morning here & I want/ need to go...There may be presents for everyone if I go & find some nice stuff....
