We got a bus to Queenstown on Monday. It took 8 hours but the time passed really quickly. There was good scenery for the whole trip, we were basically passing between mountains the whole way. We stopped for lunch at Lake Tekapo, which was gorgeous. Had some nice chips.
Got to Queenstown, had a wander and then had dinner (Pasta again)
Tuesday we booked our bungy and skydiving. Then went to the Kiwi and Birdlife park, saw a Kiwi but weren't allowed to take a picture. After that we went on the gondola and a luge ride, which was fun.
On Wednesday, we got up early and went to the bungy centre. We checked in, they weighed us and wrote our weight on our hand! Which was just plain mean. Then we got a bus to the site of the Nevis Bungy. We went over to the cabin in a little cart thing on string. That makes no sense, but I can't explain it. The bungy jump was scary, but totally fun and I would recommend it, do this the bigger one not the tiny one off the bridge.
The skydive was in the afternoon. I met up with the rest of the group at the skydive centre and they took us to the airfield. We went up in the planes in groups of three with an instructor and a person taking photos. The skydive was fun, though my ears hurt a lot and were popping for days afterwards. The photos look horrific as I have a flappy face!
In the evening, we had a highly recomended Fergburger, which was luch. We also had fries, which came in the biggest portion ever seen by man and we gave over half of them away. After that we went to the Minus 5 bar, which is a bar made of ice. That was wicked, though I didnt like being that cold. We bought a bottle of Amaretto and drank in the room and watched Lost (had to be done) then went to the World Bar, where we had teapots (like in Sydney).
Thursday we didn't do alot, we went on the internet and then went to Queenstown gardens, but it was raining so we couldn't do alot.
Friday we went to Wanaka on the bus and went to Puzzle World. There was a giant maze and some illusion rooms, which were coo. We spent the afternoon doing puzzles in the reception area.
