Queenstown

Queenstown is a party. I have had so much fun here just doing all kinds of stuff. As I mentioned before this is the extreme sports capital of the world, however i am way too much of a whimp to partake in any such activities. But they were available. Days have been spent exploring, walking around, eating amazing food surrounded by amazing scenery and just relaxing. Highlights included taking a gondola ride (the worlds highest at 450 meters) over the city and then luging down the side of a mountain, so much fun. We we entertained ourselves by bar hopping at night. There is this one bar that serves mixed drinks in teapots,its very alice in wonderland, and we went to the bar where they shot a scene of The Lord of the Rings (when the hobbits are in the Prancing Pony). Hanging out with new friends, mostly the brits we met; Nick, ian, james and jonathan have kept us sane. And taking in the scenery from every part of the city, it is really amazing here. I would explain it much like i imagine Aspen to be, a small city with great nightlife surrounded by towering mountains, really really beautiful. I am having a great time here but it is time to move on. Tomorrow Summer and I leave for Te Anau where we will take a boat cruise (not a naked boat cruise like last time) through Milford Sounds, I am so excited, it is going to be overwhelmingly breathtaking. Tonight is St. George night at the hostle bar so i am off, talk to you all later!
