Queenstown - Adrenaline capital of NZ (& photos)
Wow - a great few days! For those who have not yet read the last post, (and if not, why not?) it was a busy week, so we've taken a few days to relax in the sun.
We're in Queenstown at the moment and have met some friends from the Fiji Experience so it's been fun.
The weather here on the first day was Gorgeous, not a cloud in the sky. We thought we'd take this opportunity to go up the Skyline Gondola and do 'luge-ing' (not sure how to spell it). As you'll see in the photos (yes, that's right, photos are up!), luge-ing is like go-karting but picks up speed faster. It was so fun, even if we did look like geeks wearing the helmets!
The views from the top were AWEsome. We chilled up there for a while and took in the wonderfulness of Queenstown. It is another place which is like an apres-ski town feel to it - like Wanaka (although, personally, I prefer Wanaka).
We were psyched up for the evening purely for Fergburger. Now, Ferburger. AH! It's a burger place here which is nationally famous for being too tasty. We ordered the meatiest thing on the menu, and it served us well :)
Ketan and I were up for a big night, and seeing as there was a little Fiji reunion, we all decided it was about time for a messy night out :) It was good fun catching up with friends we had met 2 months ago, and hearing all their stories about New Zealand - along with hearing ours all over again.
Queenstown is renowned for being THE place for adrenaline junkies because it literally has all the activities available to do such as bunjy jumping, jet boat rides, helicopter rides, luge-ing, skydiving etc. But seeing as both of us are feeling a little cheap we only did the Luge. (Well, really reason is that we're shit scared to do the bunjy). It's a great little town, which for some reason always has the sun beaming down on it - but hey, we're not complaining :)
So, yes I've put up pics of Milford Sound, Dunedin, Stewart Island and Queenstown - too rare!
