New Zealand - 2016 - Fox & Franz Josef HELICOPTER Ride
The Franz and Fox Glacier is not the same unless seen from an aerial point of view! With an amazing crew, and the stunning scenery, this is a not to miss attraction!
Honestly speaking?
First time we saw the Glacier at Franz Josef, we thought it was just a big joke, and were very disappointed at barely seeing any ice (contrary to what the pictures portray).
However, after hearing that sky views are a must in the area, as opposed to the free walk, we wanted to experience this first hand. Booking a Twin Glacier Helicopter Flight with Franz & Fox Heliservices, we picked a cloudless day, and met the very friendly people at reception. A short briefing on safety, a four-minute walk to the Helipad, and after seeing many helicopters flying in and out and getting all excited, it was finally our turn! Taking off, having a clear full glass window, we could not ask for a better informative pilot, and already within the first minute of flying, the scenery was spectacular! It felt like a completely different world!

The HIGHLIGHT was a 5-minute snow landing, where the pilot offered to take pictures for us, we got asked to swap seats with the other couple on the way back, and stayed in the front row, viewing the astonishing scenery of snow, glaciers and mountains.
THIS is how you see the glaciers!
Stunning Scenery
From beginning to end, all staff was professional and friendly, and we felt very safe amongst very well experienced people. The pilot provided sufficient information along the 25-minute flight of the glaciers and the surroundings, and it was truly an impeccable and unforgettable experience to view what the West Coast of New Zealand has to offer!
Let's just say, the landing left us speechless! Pictures don't do justice!

Hi, when we talk here, we get rewarded, on facebook we get nothing, hehehe
hehehe, it's not so easy to motivate people, with my last post,
https://steemit.com/steemit/@zanoni/let-s-make-facebook-small-again-share-your-post-in-a-steemit-facebook-groups-let-s-talk-about-it-or-answer-questions-on-steemit
I tried to explain that it makes much more sense to answer question and to discuss here on Steemit, because here we get rewarded for every reply. Aswell we can upvote a good question or a good answer and reward the person for his part of the discussion.
The response to that was about 0, I think most of the people still not realize what really matters on Steemit.
You're absolutely right!
Think FB and other bigger Social Medias will slowly die down as soon as Steemit hits it off!
Its good to have a good base already :)
Yeah, but there's still a lot of work for the nerds from Steemit, but I think they are on a very good way, 2018 will be a great year for Steemit, we only have to be a little patient, keep on posting our original content, try to help a little new and motivated users and all will be alright.
Cheers to you for motivating ME!
You're welcome, hope we have soon a good discussion culture here, when you look to some posts of the "big whales" here, they have it already, some days ago I ask a so called witness of Steemit something about the cryptoexchanges, he rewarded my question! with more then 2$, that was motivation pure...
Totally agree that we should be talking here... But of all the people in my group right now, I'm getting a couple of likes and maybe a single comment - but right now, the only comments I'm getting are from the steemit bots that I've asked for which doesn't really pay. I was celebrating my first post to go over $6, but I don't have a single current one over $1. The fact I keep running into bandwidth issues is part of it, to be sure, but I do try to invest in people everyday, so that some of them will follow me enough to like my posts...
Yes, Facebook can be replaced (well, mostly anyway,) but it takes investing in each other to make Steemit really work.
Damn thats a cool ride. you should put your videos on Dtube.
