NZ-D18。20200317 Grand Traverse, Franz Josef Glacier (1)

去年的3月16日預定了Skydive Franz Josef的兩萬呎高空雙人跳傘無法如願，今年的3月17日改為Air Safaris的The Grand Traverse（官網）、乘小飛機欣賞兩大國家公園（Mount Cook and Westland NP）冰河景色。在晴朗的天氣加持下，這五十分鐘、兩百公里航程的冰河景觀之旅成了此行完全無憾的絕美回憶，
[NL] Vorig jaar op 16 maart had ik 20.000ft skydive bij Franz Josef Glacier geboekt maar het feestje was afgelast. Dit jaar op 17 maart heb ik The Grand Traverse (Official Website) van Air Safaris gehad om de bijzondere gletsjerslandschap van Mount Cook en Westland National Park te bewonderen. Het weer van deze ochtend was ontzettend mooi. Ik kan daarom volledig genieten van de spectaculaire uitzichten voor 50 minuten (voor 200km afstand) en ontzettend veel mooie beelden vastleggen als herinnering van NZ tour.
[EN] Last year, I had booked the 20.000ft skydive on 16 March at Franz Josef Glacier but had to cancell it at last minute. This year, I’m able to take the Grand Traverse (Official Website) of Air Safaris, a spectacular scenic flight of 200km in 50 minutes that explores the Mount Cook and Westland National Parks. The weather was perfect in the morning and all of the glaciers and mountains were in sight for pictures. This journey was wonderful and unforgottable. Next time, I would try the skydive for sure.
