Some Flashbacks to New Zealand

We have had a few requests to put up some more stories and pictures from our sojourn, even though we are back home.  So, to start, let's go back to the beginning.  If you remember, after our first week of getting our feet on the ground in Palmy, we flew to Invercargill on the southern tip of the South Island and then flew to Stewart Island, the "3rd" New Zealand island.  The plane ride to Stewart Island was on Stewart Island Air which flies a small 8-10 seater plane across the water.  It was a very rainy day and for some reason these planes don't have windshield wipers.  The front window also kept fogging up and apparently they don't have defoggers either, but they did have a towel, which the pilots used generously.  In fact they even handed the towel back to us midway through the flight so we could clean off our windows.  Nice!  Here is a clip of landing on Stewart Island.  Our main pilot is sitting in the right hand seat and I'm pretty sure we had an apprentice pilot actually flying (do you like the term apprentice pilot? - I think it's better than the other term I could have used.)  However we loved the flight and had no problems as the landing shows.
