Enjoy Logan's blog? I think he should write some more :)
After Puzzling World, we continued our drive to Queenstown where we stayed for a few days. It was our first stop in an actual city and boy was it different than driving in the lonely one-lane roads we were used to! There were cars and roundabouts everywhere!! It didn't help that we had no idea where we were OR where we were going. We managed to find a parking lot and followed the flow of people to the lakeside for some shopping. There were a bunch of different stores, mostly ski/snowboarding ones. Queenstown is known for it's snowy mountains, but we weren't really interested in skiing. We went to bed early so that we could get an early start the next day. Actually, we went to bed early nearly every night! By early, I mean by 8 pm. haha!
Our first stop on Thursday morning was Zip Trek Eco Tours, a ziplining experience at the top of the one of the Queenstown mountains. Of course, like Logan mentioned, it was raining. We rode a LOOOOONG gondola up to the top of the mountain and walked down a gravel path to the small treehouse representing the Zip Trek office. This company prides itself on it's "green" ways of operating and part of the money we paid goes to protecting the environment and all that good stuff. The actual Zip Trek experience was awesome. The rain cleared up a bit, which was nice. We got to zip on four different flying foxes, each one a bit longer than the previous. We got to flip upside down and Logan mastered the "flashing star" and the "running man." Heaps of fun!
Up until now, our trip was going exactly according to planned. We had made an itinerary before we left, and it probably would have been good if we emailed it to you guys considering the recent events and all. Oops! Anyways, we were planning on going luging like we had done in Rotorua, but the rainy weather didn't make luging sound too appealing, so we headed back into town and ate a Fergburger. Now, I wouldn't spend too much time writing about this particular burger if I didn't think I had to, but I do. It was amazing; I mean the best burger I've ever had. I'm not a big burger fan, but this one was good! Apparently, it's preeeeetty well known; the place was packed! Logan was nearly in Heaven.
After inhaling our burgers, we drove to Te Anau, which was our final stop before the infamous Milford Sound!!
