Getting to Kaikoura

I was a little nervous about the prospect of flying in a 12 seater prop plane from Wellington to Blenheim on the south island, but Kristie had the perfect plan... We asked the pilot if I could ride in the co-pilot chair & he said yes! Oh mein gott in himmel, I wanna learn to fly!!! It was so amazing to be in the cockpit of that plane... The view was unbelievable, and not a hint of motion-sickness for a change. And yes, I took pictures.
