Helicopter Ride to the Glaciers!


Nothing like having a helicopter pick you up at your patio location for your flight to the GLACIERS!


Helicopter coming in near the main lodge of Mt. Cook Retreat, where we had our dinners. 


Ariel view of a canal that feeds their hydroelectric power plant and is also used to farm raise salmon. 




Getting good ideas for the Cider House. We have great charcuterie boards, but will share with Allison!








 


Mount Cook closer up than our walk to see it.



This was the view from our shower. The glass is mirrored so you can only see OUT....not IN! What a view!


Fun night having dinner with Luke & Kay, the owners of the property. Marni joined us too. No picture of her. She was from England and we estimated her age as 82. After dinner, we went to Luke's wine cellar and to observe stars in his observatory. It was pretty amazing.
