Hey all.. just a quick post today unfortunately.. and no pics :( sorry, but this hostel has a really bad PC - we look forward to updating this for all of you each day, but sometimes you meet places where you simply can't upload pics! Anyway..
So, quick recap of the last few days..
We arrived in Queenstown Tuesday (Wednesday? no, Tue.. holy crap I have no idea at all what day or time it is..), had a zip around the city and a look around, and booked the activities for the next day.. as you now know, that involved the Nevis Bungy (highest in NZ, 2nd highest in the world) and the Nevis Arc Swing (highest in the world).. no words can explain that feeling. We have the videos to show you, and, bar from a girl's scream coming from my mouth as soon as I jumped, there really is no way to explain the feeling of freefall.. we both loved it ten times more than we expected we would.. and can't wait for the skydive, which should be coming soon!
Anyway, with our adrenalin through the roof, we left for Te Anau yesterday, got to our hostel and collapsed. Since the activities of Tue weren't enough, we decided to go on a walk today.. and did a large section of the Kepler Track. We climbed up to the peak of Mount Luxmore and.. once again, this country simply continues to shake us to our cores - it was too beautiful to describe. We'll try put up some photos in the coming days! We got back to the hostel later and are completely, utterly shattered - in fact Andrew has already gone to sleep - well, we did have a walk of around 27 - 28 km and climbed up 1000m of elevation.. and back down.
But now tomorrow we are off to Milford Sound.. famously known as the most beautiful part of the islands.. and, well, that's a big thing to live up to after all the things we've already seen.. and it's only been a week!
I'm off to sleep too now, as I seem to be finally seeing some sheep.. scurrying across my screen as I fight with drowsiness :)
Big greetz to you all!! :)
