New Zealand - almost done

I did the Milford Sound daytrip from Queestown with Jucy Cruize. One thing a traveler might want to consider is that the bus ride, although very scenic one, will take 6 hours there and 4 hours back. Flight to Milford takes only 45 minutes but it costs 300 dollars more than the bus. So, make your pick.  The cruise itself takes 1,5 hours and offers some unbelievable scenery and some seriously windy conditions going towards the Tasman Sea. Remember to take your windbreaker, sun block and camera.

The next day we were off to doing the New Zealand’s most famous extreme activities as we did the Nevis Bungy (134 m) in the morning and the Lake Wanaka Skydive in the afternoon (12000 ft.). Both of the activities will cost you some serious money (Nevis 290, Wanaka 429 plus the videos and photos Nevis 80, Wanaka 199.) so plan your budget accordingly. I did not.

However, after doing both, I have to say that these are definitely the best extreme activities you can experience. There is nothing quite like the rush that free-falling gives you. On the other hand if you don’t have the guts for heights you will probably get freaked out just watching other people going at it.

Today I was supposed to do some hiking on Franz Josef Glacier but the weather did not do us justice and all the hikes were cancelled so no much expected glacier time on this trip.  Tomorrow back to Christchurch and on Sunday flight to Sydney, Australia.
