Our Last Days in New Zealand

One of our last stops in New Zealand was Queenstown. This is a place where anything can, and usually does, happen. This town is full of adventure, excitement, fun, and has something for everyone to enjoy. 

The first thing we did was kayak on the lake. It was such a beautiful morning, and a perfect day to be out on the water. I left the directing to Abbey- the pro kayaker. It was so cool to see the town from a different perspective.

We spent the afternoon hanging around town, relaxing on the beach, feeding the ducks and exploring the various cafes that Queenstown has to offer. 

The most delicious Banana Chocolate Cakes- Vudu Cafe

Later that day I took a trip up the Gondola. You could see so much more of the lake, the mountains that surround the town, and it was amazing. There was a restaurant up there, various gift shops, candy stores, and you could even go luging down the side of the hill.

The next day was a day full of adventure- bungy jumping. Abbey and I had been talking about this day for months and months, and needless to say I was nervous. It was something I never really saw myself doing. But I am so happy I did. 

I thought this was the funniest thing in the world... 

The before- trying to hide how nervous I was. 

Abbey went first, and then it was my turn. When you are standing on the ledge, the workers distract you and talk to you about random stuff, and then all of the sudden they countdown from 3 and you just go. You jump. It was the craziest thing. I felt out of body- like I was in a dream and I wasn't actually jumping off a bridge. My heart was in my stomach, and then all of the sudden I was just swinging there, dangling off the bridge. It was the most intense thing I have ever done. 

After you jump, you are just sort of hanging there, and some guys come and lower you into a raft and unhook you. I was so amped up I couldn't stop smiling- it was such a strange feeling, but definitely one of the best moments of the trip. 

The after- so proud of us!

Nothing could compare to our experience in Queenstown, and New Zealand in general. We packed so many activities into the small amount of time we were there; we took advantage of every second. Abbey and I are so thankful to have gotten the opportunity to explore this magnificent country and New Zealand will always be in our hearts. Until next time ♥♥♥
