Final Day in Queenstown

On our final day in Queenstown we thought we would take in some final thrills, so we drove to the Kawarau River Bridge bungy jump to watch a few jumps. Erin did the unthinkable - she bought yet another A.J. Hacket Bungy shirt and has still yet to bungy. Cute shirt though, so worth the money. When we returned to the car we noticed what looked like a clump of grass stuck to the the grill of our car. Upon further investigation we realised that it wasn't grass but a beautiful smooshed bird! We felt terrible but didn't have anything to remove it with, so we left it there and continued on our way.

The next adventure for the three of us was to attempt a drive to the top of The Remarkables, one of the mountain ranges in the area. After 30 minutes of windy, cliff-hanging roads we reached snow! The roads were slippery and we still had a least another 15 minutes to drive. We didn't really trust our little rental car, so we decided to stop there to take some photos.

By the time we got back to Queenstown it was time to grab some lunch and catch our flight back to Auckland. We were sad to end our vacation but look forward to visiting Queenstown again this coming summer!
