Queenstown
We landed at the top of one of the mountains in Queenstown. It was incredibly windy up there and as we took off the helicopter lifted slightly, wobbled a bit, and we sped down the side of the mountain. You can see the edge there beside the helicopter. It was pretty unnerving especially since I was sitting up front - but at least this helicopter had doors.

It was all fun though, and I had complete confidence in the the pilot. As we were landing at the airport we asked him how often he has to fly people around. He answered, "Oh, not much. I'm actually a farmer and I just do this once in a while to fill in."
