Wakatipu
After we finished driving to the end of the whole of New Zealand we ended up in this beautiful, amazing, magnificent, outstanding stunning lake. There are many words for this lake because it was just truly amazing. This was my best stop yet! Every morning when I woke up I would see the clear glistening water and the giant mountains with speckles of snow covering them. We had lots to do there such as kayaking, building fires, partying and for me hanging out with friends. Us kids enjoyed kayaking the most. We named this rock that we board onto with our kayaks "The Log" and another one called
scary.





Queenstown
When we made it to Queenstown we parked up in a pretty nice motor camp. Then we made our way into town we looked at all the things you could do. We were intrigued by the jet boating but in the end we didn't. But we did go under the wharf and looked at all the fish. There were many more than I thought there would be. It was actually really cool! I imagined swimming right in front of the observatory I would be on top of so much fish and eels ewwww. The best part of that was seeing the ducks diving for food they were like real fish. After having a look few some shops we went up the gondola. It was very freaky because my mum stood up every 5 seconds trying to get the perfect picture and she was shaking the whole GONDOLA! It was a very nice view but still the gondola made my ears pop and kept my head spinning. We bought some bean boozled jelly beans for me and the kids in the weekend. Then had dinner at a place called The Cow. It was a very old English like pizza restaurant. The weekend wasn't very nice it was raining all the time. Everyone didn't get much money wise that weekend. Everyone was a bit down and in the dumps. But we made the best out of the rain and started sliding around in our shoes and throwing rugby balls around.
