Flying high

Three is a magic number, and for three days (i think), I haven't written anything once again. It is a bit hard to keep track of days when on the road. Well, I must say, not much has happened in the last three days. We did take a nice 4 hour stroll down hooker valley, over a few awesome swing bridges and under the might of Mt Cook. The walk ended at a glacier lake, with floating icebergs, where I used my little muscles to pile some rocks to mark my visit.

Other than that, we truly haven't done much. Today it is raining quite hard, so the time will mostly pass inside some walls. Yesterday it was quite beautiful, we drove through Twizel, stopped at the weird blue lakes on the way here, and took some pretty amazing pictures. I of course am too lazy to start uploading them, not that I knew how to do it anyway.

We are now staying at a chalet, at the Hermitage hotel. I had a great continental breakfast, mixing Japanese miso soup with bacon and fresh tropical fresh fruit. I pride myself in being so multinational. Tomorrow I'm having croissants, eggs and fried tomatoes with good old American pancakes. The night before, we were at a youth hostel in Cromwell, a weird town, since I don't think I saw a soul and the houses looked like matchboxes.

What did we do the day before yesterday.. hmm... Oh yes, we were supposed to drive to Milford sound, one of the most wondrous, and must-see destinations on earth, but mum had to go to the dentist at 11am in Queenstown, so we didn't have enough time left after that to take the drive, so we flew there instead. Yeah.. pretty boring you know, flying in this 6 seat airplane above the mountains and the snowy peaks, taking pictures and enjoying the atmosphere. Landing after 35minutes of flying at a small airfield and taking a cruise at the sounds and then flying back. So common right? So everyday, so used to it etc. Pretty boring day huh? Well, other than that we didn't do much, I just bungee jumped 400meters above Queenstown, surrounded by mountains in the sunset, but everyone has done that right? The bungee was only 47m, but you didn't think about that when leaping of a platform 400m above sea level (Or lake level to be correct).

So, in the end, we haven't done much anything interesting to write about.
