Hmmm...let's see, since I last wrote, I went to Queenstown the weekend of July 6. Yep, I bungy jumped! I also did a one day tour to Milford Sound. On the bungy jumping, I had signed up for Nevis (134 meters 440 feet 40), but wasn't able to do it due to 1) they had to fix something on it 2) we were the last group of the day so they were backed up. I figured I had to do something, so I ended up jumping off of the Kawarau Bridge (43meters, 142 feet), the first bungy. Suprisingly, once you can shimmy your way to the edge and jump, it's pretty exhilirating! Milford Sound was beautiful, but I actually enjoyed Queen Charlotte Sound more (on my way to Marlborough). I guess I'm getting jaded :)
The town of Queenstown reminded me a bit of Breckenridge, CO, and I actually enjoyed the place more once I got out of town. The scenery from town to Milford Sound was amazing. Every turn had a different landscape..beautiful..especially with the winter frost.
I was able to wrap up my Wellington time with a true NZ activity...I went to a rugby game! Loved it! It was really fast paced, and it only has 2 halves (40 minutes each) and we won!
I flew out this morning (Sunday, July 15) on a rainy, windy day (epitome of Wellington wind) and landed in Sydney around 8:00am for the next chapter of my adventure.
