In the Search for Kiwis: PART III

So the day started off by eating breakfast at a really nice place. (: The view was amazing there and took some photos from the balcony after eating.


So we were in the coach when the tour guide asked if anyone wanted to go bungy jumping, and I just spontaneously raised my hand and decided I would. When we arrived at the destination of the bridge, I immediately chickened out. But since it was one of the things I wanted to do before I die, I decided to suck it up and just do it. It was extremely pricey - $130 for child and I can't remember how much for adult but it was around $250. The place was called AJ Hackett BUNGY New Zealand and was the world's first bungy site.

Does it looks creepy from here? :D 
To say the least, it felt like free falling. Nothing really comes across your mind when you're in the air but afterwards it was like: 'Wow, I just bungy jumped, HAHA.' To this day, I'm still processing the fact that I did it. HAHA.

And yes, that is me. I took this photo of the photo I bought from them. 
So afterwards, I received a free T-Shirt as proof and a certificate. Since these kinds of opportunities don't come and go, bought the photo proof set that they took of the event which was $45. Pricey I know, but now I have something to brag about, ;) HAHA. ♥

After the shock of bungy jumping, we went to a winery and cheesery. HAHA, didn't know the word cheesery existed, LOL. It was really nice there, great lighting, so obviously, photos. ;P

We went inside the place and they had all these different jams that you could sample. They tasted so nice!


 I tried some of their cheeses since I personally LOVE cheese! ♥ And this one was the best one, in my opinion; Garlic & Chive Gouda. Wonder if I can get this in Australia. ;P
Best cheese ever! 
Afterwards, drove to a Chinese like garden place. Don't know what town this is but it was in a town. Was really pretty there, even had a little creek. (:



Walked around the town, and there was this really cute street that had all these shops. (: And found this really cute sheep that was chubby looking. Kinda expensive, and I ended up getting it cheaper at another souvenir store in Queenstown. (:


Went to have lunch afterwards at a Chinese restaurant. Lol, everything's Chinese. ;P After lunch we headed off on a steam boat to 'cruise' and the view was amazing! ♥ We had pretty good weather and it was really nice! Only thing was the coal started to rain down on us when the wind changed, and I had a lot of black marks that ended up on my white/cream jacket. >:(


Before we left, we went to an icecream stall that apparently had the best icecream there. I shared a cup with my mum since the one with the cone was massive! Got their special 'Banana Split' flavour which won two awards, and also 'Dark Chocolate'. (: They were really good! ♥ My sister got a cone with the flavour 'Vanilla and Cookies'.

My mum was holding ours, while my sister held hers. (: The banana split flavour tasted like these banana muffins I made last year. (: 
We went on a cable car afterwards, and the view was amazing as well, but the glass was so dirty that the camera couldn't really pick it up. So I actually stuck my hand out the window to take some photos. -.- Dangerous much, HAHA. Oh the extend I go to, just for my blog viewers. (Y)


After the cable car, everyone got to try this really famous place in Queenstown, called 'FERG BURGER', where it's apparently the best hamburger in New Zealand. We looked around in that little shop and the queue was so long, it was outside the shop for miles! So we preordered ours and it was so good! Wanted more, after finishing half of it. Best burger ever!!




Had dinner at another Chinese restaurant and went to another hotel. End of the third day. (:

Thanks for reading!

Love,
Michelle ♥
