Up in the air we fly

How cool is this view?? Can't believe the views.

Curly luge

This is going to be fun. Omg too old to fall out, I better be safety Sam!

The luge

We're so special! Ready to ride the luge.

Award winning views

Thanks queenstown for another spectacular view well worth the gondola skyline trip.

Ridge didge

Go Rossco, time for a drink stop.

Freaky gondola

It looks like its defying gravity. So weird to watch go pass!

The Luge NZ

I can't wait to ride this, looks like heaps of fun even for me the safety Sam of adventure.

The skyline Queenstown NZ

Oh my it's high!

Oh the view

That black line is the cable for the gondola, can you feel my anxiety rise?!?!

Up the hill we ride

At this point I started to get the giggles, not real keen on heights, so this was a little bit of a challenge.

Bikes in queenstown

Bikes are the summer option for queenstown, heaps and heaps of fitness folk enjoying the steep runs. Plenty of places to rent bikes and gear all over queenstown.

Gondola bike rack

It was entertaining to watch and travel on the skyline to the top of queenstown. The gondolas travel fast and don't stop just slow down enough to jump on and off.

Trees at kiwi wildlife park

This was a great little conservation park to wonder around look at native plants and animals and get a look at the local kiwi, in the dark and sorry no photos :(

We are special

On our way to the luge, aren't we special looking? Pretty view.

Huge pigeon

How big is this pigeon, a feed and a half no wonder they are nearly extinct.

Fishy fishy

Fish in the natural spring at the kiwi park. Water was so clear.

The might Ferg

A photo of the mr big boss and Cajun cock. Onion rings which we couldn't finish. So big they are two handed burgers. Is NZ too far to travel for a burger??

In Ferg we trust

Yep we are back this is a must burger place in queenstown. The burgers are unbelievable and Ross is thinking of trying to have one for breaky before we fly out, shuttle at 9am! They are open 22hrs a day 7days a week and I know why food is great.

Fun in Cow Lane

Thank the Cow in NZ Queenstown had a ball in your toilets!

Pirate ship

To give u an idea of the size of the pirate ship message in the loo! Had to stand on the toilet seat to draw this massive dedication. Ships ahoy!

The Cow toilet chalk board

Ok Ross is either gluten intolerant or he has just drawn a chalk pirate ship on the wall, too bad if u needed to pee. It's a kimmyv pirate message. It's a big picture. Thanks

Graffiti message of love

Ahhh how cute he wrote me a love heart, here is a little message back, I'm guessing Ross will have to go back to the toilet to read my message. As the game begins.

Dinner at the Cow

Pizza, pasta and garlic bread for dinner. It's good, Ross has spent most of the time in the toilet, I wonder why?!?!? Lets have a look!

Chard winery

The kiwi wave. Off for a wine taste.

Winery bike

One way to recycle old vines. Make a giant freak on a bike. Ride like the wind bullseye.

The scariest road trip

This little road was the only way in or out to the winery at Chard Winery. Ross took this photo, I couldn't look over the edge or get out of the car to do it.

Drink stop

The sun is out time to stretch the legs and have a drink.

Roaring Meg

So you generate electricity. Always knew you were a bright spark!

The green machine

The go kart has been a great tour car to get around NZ. Not bad price at $50 nzd a day for 3 days unlimited Kms.

Curly road

I felt like I was driving a go kart around these corners, Rocco not so happy with the go kart ride.

Best skate park venue

What a great place for a skate park, river side. We ate ice cream and wondered around the river.

Good chups

This photo does not do the food justice, even the colour is dark, the flavour was very good. Ross had blue cod and I had a delicious spring roll.

Fish & chups

With a can of tomato sauce wrapped in a tucked up bag, lets see at our wares and check out the flavour!

Groovy Easter Wabbit

Mr cool smoking his pipe in Arrowtown. So many rabbits so little taxidermist to do more Wabbits!

Happy holidaying couple

The suns out, we have had coffee time to tour around in the tiny Getz hire car.

Spooky wine cave

It really wasn't that spooky the cave was built recently this is more the photographer at work!

Cave wine

This was a great little cave with wine.

Cave tour

Ross took a better photo thought I better share, he plays with the camera more than anything I've seen before, yes even more than that!

Northburn station winery

Lunch was yummy sorry Megsy ate it too fast forgot to take a photo!

Flooded shotover

No rides today the river is flowing and is up high, the pretty blue colour has been washed away.

House in the hills

This is over the shotover river, heaps of rain so river is flowing fast and very dirty looking.

Room service breaky

Big continental breakfast delivered to the room, it was good and this is a serve for one!

Photo time

The sun is out for 1 min time for a quick photo.

Arrowtown NZ

Little boutique town, little shops, more food and plenty of people walking the street.

Recycling in good use

So weather stops the post ? Move some junk on to a post and plant it at the top of the hill with your address on it and there you have it, mail all year round.

Letter boxes

Can you see the fish?
