The roadtrip continues in my Uber Wagon - not Grandad car as some have cruelly labelled.

And now for something completely different.

I thought it best to duck. And now feel silly.

and a few more helicopter shots for luck...

Another bloody glacier. This time Franz Joseph. Bloody massive etc etc....

Nice evening sky in the Fox Glacier area. In the pub drinking beer looking at this view. And actually quite warm for the South Island.

Poor Basil is confined to his sick bed. The beach is banned. Dodgy leg and over excercised by silly people that looked after him whilst we were away. He is mentally and physically shagged - know the feeling mate. I must need a holiday....

The Fox Glacier coming down from Mount Cook. See size of people for how big this thing is.

Looking a bit beardy weird in the remote bush. Nice cafe just around the corner though.

Lovely local lake overlooked by Mount Cook and Tasman.

Top of the Fox Glacier looking down. Glacier is about 14k long.

As a saddo helicopter buff couldn't resist flight up Mount Cook and Glaciers. Not terrified wife this time. Standing at the top of the Fox Glacier in blue skies and sushine. Pissing down the following day.

Top of Mount Cook - the highest Mountain in Australasia (I think) Note no nutter on this one.

Mount Tasman from a jelly wopper. Note the nutter to the left of the peak near the top (very small dot) Couldn't fly too close in ase we put him off.

Down to Mount Cook and Tasman. Cook on right and Tasman on left. Around 12 thousand foot high. Staying in Misty Peaks hotels which in Faulty Towers tradition we named Dodgy Peaks, Crappy Peaks, Could be good peaks - and a variety of others.

Jenny taking photo and hoping I fall off wobbly bridge.

Footbridge over to the cottage.

In the Nelson Lakes. After a booking a dodgy bach and probably a lucky escape from a chainsaw wielding owner we quickly found this one. 150 dollars a night. Total isolation and by a river.

Diving down to feed.
