OK, it worked this time: sat on the left, flying down to Christchurch, and there was Mt Taranaki in all its symmetrical, snow-capped glory, right below me. Score! What a brilliant sight.
I know it’s been officially spring for a whole week now, but I was expecting more snow on the Kaikouras. It was also, though, officially our warmest winter for quite some time, and I guess this is the proof. When I fly home again on Sunday, also sitting on the left, I shall inspect the Southern Alps with interest, to see if they’re similarly only dusted.
Before then, though, there will be animals - lots and lots of animals, most of them exotic. Watch this space!
