Looks like the intense flying activity that was going on around here the other day has died down (the persistent cloud dosen't help) - Squirels waiting for another bunch of tourists to arrive.


Following the Tasman River - which emerges from the Tasman Glacier further up the valley

Finally blue sky!



Lake Pukaki in the distance

Approaching Tekapo airfield - wouldn't want to approach from the other end with that cloud hanging over the end of runway.

Well what you know it was a missed approach and I ended up in the cloud at the other end - nasty cross wind made landing tricky - it would of been better if I landed across the runway
Anyway safely down after another hairy approach and landing. Not as much activity around here but there is still a bunch of tourists eager to get out and see some lovely cloud - Air Safari Airvan taxiing out for another scenic flight - hope the passengers get to see something!
