Franz Josef, New Zealand
Just a quick blog enrty to let you know that I've done the helicopter and hiking on Franz Josef Glacier...What a fantastic experience. This is one of the highlights of the trip so far. It is so vast, peaceful and beautiful. I simply loved it. The blue ice looks amazing, not sure the pictures do it justice actually!
The helicopter journey to the Glacier was awesome. Very cool, sweeping up and over the cliff face to the glacier and seeing it from a birds eye view ...
