Mt.Cook & Queenstown

hey guys! at the moment me and Laura are in Queenstown which is the farthest south I've ever been in the world. Whoo-hoo!! Alright I'll continue on with my 2 week break highlights...

Mt.Cook
Me and Laura decided to split up with the other girls because they wanted to see things that we didn't and they didn't want to go to Queenstown, so we split up. I'm sure the other 4 girls are fine (Cat's back in Australia for a week then she'll be back @ school). so on Sunday me and Laura headed down to Mt.Cook. For the most part we just sat around and watched tv and read...we didn't want to plan every single thing we did. However on Monday we did something spectacular.

We wanted to got up in a helicopter for an aerial tour of the southern alps. it cost alot of money (sorry dad!!!) but it was definately worth it. We even landed near the Gorilla valley which is pretty much within the southern alps. that was the first time I've been on snow in New Zealand. It was SO cool to be up in a helicopter and see Mt.Cook!! That's the tallest peak in New Zealand and i think it's somewhere in the Lord of the Rings scenery. I'll have to watch the movies with you and point it out. I'm telling you! that was definately one of the coolest things I've ever done in my life! SO cool! i wish i could post pictures for you right now...but i can't because it's a public computer. You'll have to e-mail me if you want pictures. I'm still kinda shocked that i did that! It was SO AWESOME!!

Queenstown
we arrived here last night and the only thing we thought of doing was going to Pizza Hut. I finaly had a stuffed crust pizza (i've never had on before), except theirs was filled with cream cheese and not the regular cheese that we have back home. But it was still good, a little sweet but good.

I think the plans for Queenstown is alot of souvnier shopping (please let me know what you want because then I'll have better idea of what i"m buying for people!! Thanks!) and then mayme bungy jumping. I was going to do the 2nd biggest one in the world, however i spent too much money on the helicopter ride @ Mt.Cook so I'm just giong to jump off a bridge..well bungy jump off one ;) I'll be sure to tell you about my experience after it happens. Well that's all i got for updates for now. Hope to hear from y'all soon! God bless!
