Queenstown is nice. I think it thinks it's a little more awesome than it actually is. It's a cute ski town though. Home of the first commercial bungy, Queenstown attracts so many people looking for crazy activities like bungy, sky-diving, rafting, etc. I did luging with Johnny, Jamey, Laura, and Anna, which was fun. I would have done bungy but it's just too expensive. I swear I'm not scared.
The nightlife here is really good too.
It was miserable when Johnny, Jamey and I left the glaciers. The day before, we went on a hike in a tunnel (after I was assured that I wouldn't get my only pair of shoes wet). The upside is that we got to see a ton of glowworms (for free!). That's another thing that irritates me about New Zealand. Everything has a price tag. Even holidays! On Labour Day, if you go buy something there's a surcharge. Happy Holiday - you get to pay more money! But anyways, the weather was terrible at Franz Josef. apparently it gets 7 m of rainfall a year, which is second most in the world. I believe it too. I was happy to leave because I was stuck on the glacier in my flip flops, excuse me, my jandals.
Traveling with the bros has been good overall. It's always nice to be with family, even though that are embarrassing (Johnny asking for American cheese at restaurants, Jamey telling a random German guy he sounds like Arnold Swchwartzenegger). But it's been good. Johnny and I drove to the Milford Sound yesterday which was absolutely beautiful. Plus I got to drive probably the best road in the world. Perfect combination of curvy, fast, remote, and scenic. If only I got to drive on the right side it would have been better. But you get used to it relatively fast. I will be here a couple more days, till Laura gets back from her hike, then we will go to Dunedin.
