The Nevis Arc
Moments before plummeting towards the ground As the title says, I won't be coming to Queenstown again! Well, I probably will at some time within my lifetime, but I can't see it being on this trip. I'm aiming to leave the South Island now, and make my way up to the North Island for the summer. Woohoo, Christmas on the beach!
Decided I had to get round to doing at least one of the activities things here, so we decided to do the Nevis Arc. It's like a massive swing that drops you about 200m before you swing over the river towards the cliffs opposite. That was lots of fun! And I got a complimentary hat. I don't know if I would have gotten around to doing it if Anja in the same dorm didn't want to do the same thing, but I'm glad I did. Also, in my 'this-is-the-last-chance' frenzy, I walked up to gondola hill (I know it has a proper name, I just don't know what it is) and did the luge twice. Went for a last, final, so nice Fergburger (the veggie version). That won't mean much to most people but they're so nice! And then found possibly the only free activity

And with my very stylish hat in Queenstown, the cute little underwater observatory.
I'm going to be going up the West Coast, which is supposed to be beautiful, but it'll still be a shame to leave Queenstown.
