Nice pics Mike, looks like a small plane!

[Mike Barrio]

Yes Baz, a bit smaller than the long haul birds that got us there
This one was awesome fun in the mountains, flying between peaks instead of over them



View from the back seat



Flying is slightly different when the pilot asks you to close the back door before take off!

lovely photos Mike...but WHERES THE FISH????

In amongst the peaks and glaciers, photos are not zoomed in, you felt that you could reach out and touch them ........

lovely photos Mike...but WHERES THE FISH???? 

This was a holiday Rob, not a fishing trip ....... to combine the two you would need at least six months to even get started

Cheers

No no nooooooo. 20+ hours on a plane and no fishing....you will be making left handed fly boxes next

[Mike Barrio]

I was brought up in NZ, so believe me, I know how well it fishes Rob   This trip was about catching up with friends and family!

I think I did quite well, pretty much 30 hrs on a plane without a Marlboro and almost a month in NZ without any fishing

Cheers

Stopped off at Sydney on the way ..... awesome city!



A storm brewed while we were out on the water, pretty spectacular stuff

Yes, we certainly had a blast thanks Marc
