24. blog entry: Highlight South Island 3
heyya,
here the last part of my south island trip. I'll probably write a short summary about the trip later on for those who are too lazy for long blog entries ;).
The next morning started with a hiking trip after breakfast. We walked to the base of the Fox Glacier. It was fun, even tho it was really rainy but you must be really lucky to catch a good day without rain on the beautiful west coast.
Afterwards, we headed to Wanaka with a stop at Puzzling world. Before we had yummy Nachos for dinner, I went with some other people to the lake. We had for about one hour a lot of fun on stand up paddle boards.
The next two days were just really amazing and unforgettable because we went on an overnight boat trip! We had a lot of fun on the Doubtful Sound (Fiordland), and amazing food :). We enjoyed our life on the boat, inside, outside, one a kayak, and even tho the beds were really small, they were cosy. By the way, we bought the best kiwi-fruits on earth for the boat trip and I think everyone ate too many ;).
We spent the next two nights in the adventure capital of New Zealand - Queenstown. I really love Queenstown, the city, Bungy jumping and seriously you can buy the best burgers in Queenstown. It had just one disadvantage, we had to wait 45 minutes for our burgers.
On our second day, we had a free day, and my friends and I decided to have a nice view over Queenstown. But we didn't use the gondola because, to be honest, it was too expensive for us, so we decided to walk... Maybe you can't believe me but it was so much fun, and when we got to the top we bought pancakes, had an amazing view over the lake and Queenstown, and we talked about everything and anything. The rest of the day we spent with music at the lake and in a whirlpool.
The next day we drove to our last destination - Tekapo. But before we enjoyed a jet boat ride on the Kawarau river (everyone), and we visited the famous "Church of the Good Shepherd".
Afterwards, we arrived at our amazing accommodation, and everyone was so excited. After our last dinner (BBQ) we had a very special evening, with games, a review, and tears as we realized it's soon time to say good-bye :(. Everyone went afterwards to bed except for us, we had the best night...
On the next morning, my friends and I were the first time, first for breakfast. Why? We didn't sleep at all, so we tried to catch up with some sleep on the bus, on our way back to the airport (Christchurch).
Everyone was asleep... for half of the way and then we started to listen to music and to sing...
As soon we arrived at the airport many photos were taken. And everyone was sad and had tears in their eyes.
To summarise my trip I just would say: it was amazing, and I will always remember it.
