In Queenstown

Well, we have now made it to Queenstown. Right now my Mom and Dad are out on a cruise on Lake Wakatipu and having dinner at the High Country farm. That was my present to Dad for his birthday.

When we left Christchurch we went through Burke's Pass to Lake Tekapo, Lake Pukaki, and Twizel. Amazing weather and views. Been having a great time.

Dad has this thing about getting pictures with cows and sheep, but whenever he goes to the fence they just run away. One time he went up the fence where there was a paddock of cows. All the cows starting running. When they got far enough away they stood there and stared at us. All the other cows from the rest of the paddock also came and stood in a huge, silent line. It was hilarious.

Twizel was boring. We stayed in a nice lodge and had a good dinner at the cafe the girl from the lodge works at.

This morning we left Twizel and drove to Queenstown. We stopped along the way in Tarras and I bought Stacia a birthday present. We also stopped at the AJ Hackett bungy site and watched some people jump off. Once in Q-town we went up the gondola and had a look around and did some alpine slide action.

Tomorrow we are taking a flight out to the Milford Sound and diong a cruise over there then flying back to Queenstown. Should be a pretty awesome day!
