Rhiann Marie - Round the World - Chopper in the canyon!

Chopper in the canyon!

Rhiann Marie - Round the World

Stewart Graham

Wed 15 Sep 2010 02:53

Wednesday afternoon......

This morning we lost the plot and went on a helicopter ride round the island and up through the densley rain forrested interior of Efate to find a spectacular canyon which the kiwi pilot flew us along! It was exhilerating twisting and turning above the river deep below the tree lined canyon top. Trish's photos don't do the trip justice but in fact I was the twat videoing - with the video camera on standby for most of the trip! So the photos are the best we have!

I suppose nothing I say now will convince you all that this is a tough trip.............
