Shona's dream flight over Mt Cook

Rhian and Callum wanted to give us a treat as a thank you for their holiday last year, so Malcolm went paragliding and Shona took a helicopter over the Franz Joseph and Fox Glaciers. She was very lucky and was 'upgraded' to a longer flight and a landing on the glacier which she wasn't expecting.

Up up and away



 The scenery was out of this world - this gives some idea of the beauty of the mountains.
