Wanaka was a really nice small town with a huge lake we were really lucky as the weather was beautiful when we arrived we were only really there as a stop off for queenstown so with nothing to do we headed out and got an ice cream, we bumped into the others and found a beautiful bar with a balcony that we could look over the lake and mountains with cider on offer it was heaven!
Queenstown was slightly more busy we were there for 5 nights but could of stayed so much longer it was lovely. We were expecting quite a big city but it was more like a seaside down with loads of nice shops and cheap bars set on a massive lake and mountains! The third day we were there me Suzanne and Rebecca did the canyon swing which is supposed to be the biggest canyon swing in the world it's pretty self explanatory u have to jump off a ledge and the swing through a canyon it has a 60m free fall and u travel at about 150km an hour (youtube it) there are loads of different ways u cab jump off and the guys there just wind u up completely before u jump. Makes it even worse, I decided to go backwards so it was different from the bungy was scary jumping off but once u had done that it was just pure fun!
The next day we did milford sound which is supposed to be in the short list for the new 7 wonders of the world, we were quite disappointed as we went on a really sunny day and it's better to go when it's been raining as then it's literally thousands of water falls all around u but for us it was just mountains! Although we did see seals and dolphins and got a free buffet so not all bad!
The next day the three of us headed off to do the Nevis bungy, it's the 2nd highest in the world at 134m. I won't lie I was s***ting it when I woke up, but once we got there adrenaline kicked in and it was brilliant they don't faff and wind u up like at the canyon the waddle u to the edge and 3,2,1 bungy and ur gone! Very glad I did it! The night of the bungy was our last night in queenstown we had discovered a couple of bars we liked cowboys (free bucking bronco in the bar and free pizza brought to the table as long as u were drinking) and buffalos that had a different themed evening every night, on this night it was WE LOVE GINGERS NIGHT I was soo happy gingers got 2 for 1 drinks all night and a free t shirt saying Ginger pride I was amazed! Pretty much topped new Zealand off with a cherry I love that country! X
