We awoke to the sound of pouring rain and that was ominous as far as our scenic flight was concerned. We phoned them as agreed just after
By this time we need to check with the Airport and so drove there only to find that the one hour flight with all the interesting bits such as landing on the Glacier was not possible due to visibility reasons however they did offer an alternative for about 25 minutes which we thought would not be much different from the views that we could see from the ground. We have therefore decided to bide our time and hope the weather changes over the next day or two.
We drove back to Twizel and the rain started briefly again so we walked around this major town, ten shops and three restaurants/cafes and spent a short while doing email etc.
Having looked at the menus around town we have decided to stay in the hotel again tonight for their buffet.
