Queenstown....W've mang

Queenstown was freaking sick man, So stinking beautiful around there it is incredble. This is the view from the gondola ride with "The Remarkables" mountains in the back and Queenstown below me. The view out of our hostel window was just as amazing. We had some cool peeps in our hostel and some that didn't like Chris and I's synchronized snoring. We met a couple of Chris's mates from up north down there and hung out with them. We went snowboarding at The Remarkables, and it was well.....re-freaking-fantastic. We were so excited to be hitting some sick kickers, boxes and pipes that we totally forgot to take some video and pics. Except for when Chris picked up a pipe and used it to row down the mountain, almost hitting this person in the face a couple times. We kept on hitting this kicker where I was learning to get about 6 or 7 feet of air under control. Awesome time.

We also found this luge ride at the top of the gondola. They let you get in these little go kart things where you can pull back to make yourself go faster. And as an american Im thinking to myself there is no way this thing can be cool because of all the saftey issues Im sure they will have to make it suck. Well, I found out that Im not in america anymore because I tried to spin this baby out to see how much she could handle on the first corner, well it tossed me out of the car and into the guard rail. It ripped my shoe off in the process some how or maybe I kicked it off in a fit of joy....one never knows. But I learned that amusment ride places have no insurance policies because people can't really sue other people for accidents like that here. They have insurance that covers everyone as soon as you set foot on kiwi soil.....pretty cool (well for most things). On with the story, I got back into my little gravity fed rocket and hunted Chris down like the dog that he is. My goal was simple.....complete distruction! I speed up on Chris and slammed into him as we battled it out trying hard to push him out of my way. He was in front of me on the "S" curve and I decided to take a short cut. As he was slowing down to take the corner I was maintaining ramming speed and decided to jump through the middle of the "S" curve in a death defying leap trying to possibly kill Chris. I was a second too late as he flew out of my crosshairs by mere inches and I plummeted my car into the guard rail sideways. And again I had to get out of my car and set it straight. The end came up quick on the four of us racing and then Davis ran into the parked car ahead of him, then we all proceded to pile them up into eachother one after one. Of course this happens to be right next to the line to get into these luges and everyone is staring at us in disbelief. I couldn't stop laughing. Blood was spilt that day, however truer words have never been spoken when Chris cried,"Give me Luge or give me DEATH"!

We also went on a drive to Glenrochy to get some more pictures. I've never seen a more beautiful place. The drive there was amazing with crazy roads winding around the beautiful mountain scenery. There are so many other beautiful photos of us at dusk, on docks, in barns, churches and other crap that is amazing, just too much to show here. I will have to go back to Queenstown sometime because I did not get to bungy jump. There were plenty of places to do it but only one place was worthy of my naked screaming and it is too much money for me to do it right now. This last photo is where we decided to dance on the guardrail to techno music in awe of God's beauty.
