Grandioses Erlebnis

Wir flogen mit Poppy, die uns die Gletscher ganz aus der Nähe zeigte. Wir landeten auf einem Schneefeld des Gletschers. Dank des traumhaften Wetters konnten wir bis zu den Stränden der WestCoast blicken.

Fabelhafter Flug bei tollem Wetter

Unser lange geplanter Helikopterflug fiel leider buchstäblich ins Wasser. Gott sei Dank konnten wir auf den frühen Flug am nächsten Tag umbuchen. Der fand dann bei tollem Sonnenschein und mit einer hervorragenden Pilotin statt. Es war ein beeindruckendes Erlebnnis.

Erfüllter Traum

Kurzentschlossen nach Wetterbericht gebucht. Nach vielen Erlebnissen sollte das unser Höhepunkt werden. Bei der Anreise auf einmal eine SMS auf unserer NZ Nummer: verpasster Anruf. Bevor wir reagieren können, eine zweite: ganz liebe Anfrage, ob wir früher da sein könnten, das Wetter sei kritisch. Wir können! So schnell waren wir in NZ noch nie! Danach begann alles, was wir gelesen hatten, nur noch viel besser. Anfahrt, Flug, Aussicht, zwei Landungen die Berge die Wolken...die Fotos eine klare Empfehlung!
