As many of you may know, I am a carnivore, a massive fan of meat! Steak for breakfast is quite the norm, when we have been told on our travels that Queenstown has the best burger joint in the world, I had to go! It has become a pilgrimage of mine. Needless to say I have not been disappointed. The Fergburger joint is a small place but with an amazing menu and freshest of ingredients, Sam and I have now had 5 burgers each. Slightly obsessed, but it is a must for anyone going to Queenstown. As Sam shows, it can get messy!!!
Here are some additional pictures from our bungy jump. Consider them behind the scenes shots, see the fear, see the excitement, see them in HD!!!!
On Wednesday we went to the beautiful fiord, Milford Sound. The place was amazing, so much foliage and so little human disruption. The area is very difficult to access so not everyone will head there but it was well worth the day out. It is so difficult to capture the areas beauty, but hopefully the photos will give you an idea. The day included a cruise around the fiord and out to the Tasman sea. We saw seals and dolphins and shed loads of Japanese tourists with bazooka size lenses on their cameras. What made the day extra special was the all you can eat buffet! Choice, Eh!!!
On Thursday, we decided that we should try something different that did not involved heights or signing a waiver form, so we had a go at Frisbee Golf. This pretty much involves throwing a frisbee into a metal net; simple but addictive. You got to love the Kiwis for their inventiveness!
Following the recent devastating earthquake in Christchurch, Sam and I have made changes to our plans and will now be flying out of Queenstown. We have received word from people we have met along the way and they are all safe. One guy was flown out by the NZ Air Force, another girl has lost everything (including passport) and another guy has been staying with a Kiwi family in the area. It has been an eye opener to the frailities of the human body and the resilience of the human mind and soul. I can only speak for myself but it has made me more determined to travel and live life to its fullest. A friend who was in Christchurch at the time has photos of the hostel we were booked to stay at; I feel lucky and blessed.
