Jam packed

So fo the last few days we have been just chilling in queenstown and not doing too much really. It was nice to have 4 days there just to relax meet some people before moving on again. The first at we just wandered around all the shops in the town and just had a good look about the place to see what was happening. It's a cool enough town right beside Lake Wakitipu which is pretty damn big and over 400m deep too. The nxt day then we done a walk right up to the top of the gondola, it's the highest point around queenstown and only took about 2 hours to get up there so it wasn't bad at all. The views up there were super, with a 360 view of the lake, the town and the remarkables rising towards the sky. It's pretty nice, then we jumped on the gondola back down and were down in less than 5mins which was handy. Ten since all the boring enough stuff was done, (boring by queenstown standards) it was time to get cracking on why adrenaline pumping stuff we were going to do. We thought about it alot, although the outcome was quite inevitable really, it was time to jump out of a cable car 150m above perfectly good ground and freefall for 134m. Then bith of us were doing the Nevis Arc, the worlds highest swing with a freefall of 70m and an arc of 300m through a valley. Both were epic for different reasons, the bungy jump I just pure fear conquring stuff while the arc is alot of fun. The bungy is pretty cool, there is no time for fear except for the last second after the 3-2-1-jump! when you have to dive into nothing but free air. The ground rush is spectacular with the valley floor almost tipping ur fingers as you reach the climax of ur all. Simply breathtaking but worth every single penny. Then the arc is just fun, a massive swing through the valley, plus now after doing it, it has made Alv want to do a bungy! So then to top that day off we went and got out final Fergburger of the trip to queenstown. Think Alv is liking burgers too. What an amazing time there. So then we caught our bus out if there, all the way across to Dunedin on the east coast. Only took 4 hours to cross the entire country which was a bit mad really. We manged yo get to our hostel before we both passed out. The wether here has actually been pretty changable compared to eerywhere else in the country. Dunedin means Edinburgh apparently and you can see why when you see the weather, grey skies and a chilly chilly wind. It's a real nice place though, some real nice buildings and spots around the city to chill. But it also has some amzing things including the worlds smallest penguins, sealions and the Cadbury Factory. So yesterday we caught a bus out to the Otago peninsula only 30 mins from the city centre. It's a really nice place out there and is home to some of the rarest wildlife in New Zealand. We walked for 2 from the bus stop to a place called Allan beach reserve where we stayed for awhile. We seen about 8 of the worlds smallest penguin, the blue penguin. They were beautiful animals. They were all hiding under rocks out of the way so they wouldn't be disturbed so we didn't disturb them. Then we got caught in a dodgy situation as a 400kg male sealion appeared out of the sea right beside us as we were walking back along the beach. Luckily with all my bush experience I negotiated a way out of the situation while allowing him to pass by freely and us not get sat on. It was a really good experience out there and seen some beautiful animals in the wild. So then this morning, we all went to the Cadbury Factory, it was a chocolate wonderland full of chocolate, chocolate and even more chocolate too. It was a good enough tour too and we got tins of free bars to keep us going so we came out pretty happy i'd say. Well worth a visit to Cadbury World. But now it's bye bye to Dunedin and off up north to a place called Oamaru, the home of the worlds rarest penguin, the yellow-eyed penguin. So hopefully in the next day or 2 we will get to see one which will be awesome to top everything else off. It's so strange knowing it's only a week to Christmas coz in no way does it feel like it, wish it was cold and got the smell of Christmas pudding. Yum yum. Only 378 days until we get a proper Christmas dinner in cold cold Ireland.
