I think its pretty

Oh New Zealand just had an earthquake. -_-

Its pretty funny how when i go on holidays something bad will happen after we leave the place.

Bali, got bom-ed at our hotel road. Eypgt, got bom-ed near our hotel. New Zealand, earthquake where we were.

Ooohh noo.

anyways, Day 5,6 &7

Well, now we were making our way across country to Queenstown, but its way to far to complete in one day, so we stopped by another lake, Lake Dunsen. We had a little picnic by the lake and then my sister and i went for a dipp in the COLD COLD COLD lake while brother and father went to play golf. (phfft)


Lake Dunsen!
For some reason they were selling super alot of fruits! Its either there was a farm nearby of they are just super healthy people... which i doubt.


could the sign be any BIGGER?
the sister and i taking a dip... COLD SHITTSSSS, seriously.

picnic!


Day 6
Then we continued driving driving.. alot of driving! And we stopped along the way if something looked pretty..



Well then guess what, we reached another lake! Haha. I know many many lakes. But thats where all the action is at. We went to Lake Te Anau (god knows how to spell it). We took this boat to some cave to see glow wormmsss.



Haha i told my sister that the glow worms will drop on her head.

But it was actually pretty cool, the worms will actually glow to attract things to it so it can eat it. So the brighter it is, the hungrier it is.. And then they showed us this video, they way it ate the insects... sooo ganas! Spooky.

Day 7

Arrived at Queenstown! My favourite place. Its a tiny (well not that tiny) town by the lakeside. We took this tour that took us on a 4WD in to the mountains, to show us where they shot the Lord of The Rings stuff, and also followed by this jet boat ride on the river to one place called paradise.




where LOTR was shot.
Our guide was 100% pure maori and he said he was one of the only few left!
We were supposed to take this jet boat for an one and ahalf hour ride.

But what happened to it?



we all CRASHED in to a TREE
Yeah! beleive it or not, when we all got on, suddenly the engine failed and we hanyut sungai and crashed in to this HUGEEE treee.
1 dude was hurt, and he didnt speak english. Hevooocccc.
But i was kindda excited, taking pictures all the way, cause it was like an adventure! and we had to do some mc gyver shizz to get out.
Then we had to track through the forest to get to another side for the rescue boat to get us. I was sooo excited.



So eventually, we got another boat and took that litle ride through paradise valley. It was worth the drama, the view was A+++.




So after a very dramatic morning, my dad and i decided we wanted to be thrilled even more. So we went for this shotover jet thing. Its like this super jet that spins and spins 360 in between the canyons. Shizz crazzy especially when your about to hit the rocks.. then you dont.





Well that sums up pretty much what we did there. Hanged around the town abit, cycled in the park and through the streets, did a bit of shopping, errr well a bit to me but according to my mum it was alot, so whatever. haha.
