Queenstown

So I got the job in Franz Josef but I had to go to Queenstown to get drug tested (any job in the Adventure/Tourism industry requires it).  Luckily, that meant an extra week of South Island vacation time!!  Here are some of the pretty pics of the drive down to Queenstown. 

Mirror Lake
The Blue Pools
Lake Wanaka

Kawarau River


ANNNND I made it to QT!!   I should have vlogged more because the days were truly eventful but luckily the pictures explain it all.  


Meet Danya, Sophie, Astrid and Steph!!  So lucky to have fun roommates!
The view from my bunk
Minor toenail injury but I was healed by a very drunk German girl who had a super first aid kit.
Queenstown from above! (Shout out to Astrid and her AMAZING camera)




Yes, I hiked another giant mountain to see another spectacular view and this is how I felt about it.





Shout out to Steph and her awesome GoPro

Time for a post hike swim!!








It was a hot day so it was time to chill off in the ICE BAR!!





No time for pants (jk I was wearing shorts)







Fogged up glasses!

Back in the hot sun!  This picture was taken at 9:30 at night.  The sun takes forever to set!
Once again Astrid's camera is amazing!


Long exposure as a ferry floated past

The next day Steph and I decided to truly take in Queenstown by Bungying 47m off a ledge!!!










WE DID IT!!!
