I just returned from three weeks in New Zealand. Although it is fantastic, the outdoor life has it's limitations. I need a few museums or diversions in between my tramping. To be fair there are many architecturally interesting buildings, and there is a limited museum....
My trip started in Auckland, where I visited with my friend Tim, for a day before we both flew to Christchurch. From there we rented a car and headed toward Mount Cook. Mount Cook is amazing.
After doing some short hikes we headed down to Queenstown where I jumped into the shotover with a rubber band tied to my ankles. After which we went a drank a few beers. The jump, formally a bungee jump, went pretty quick, but it was exhilarating. Queenstown was still celebrating New Years Eve, so everything was marked up 20%- special way to get more money for bad managers that cannot seem to figure out their running costs.
From Queenstown we headed down to Te Anau, where we planned to do the infamous Kepler Track. Te Anau has nothing much to speak about except the fantastic pasties near the corner of main street- I think I ate way too many.
