Today is the day we get to soar like birds! This should be a breeze. So back up the mountain we go.

We’re a little early due to our eagerness so we grab some breakfast and a couple cups of tea. I can’t believe we are actually going to do this. Oh Lord, what are we thinking. It’s fine…we’re fine…it’ll all be fine. Right?!

Ok, shop is open. Time to make sure we pass the weight limit. Wait, what a weight limit?! Oh boy we shouldn’t of had that pavlova yesterday. Just kidding, one never says they should of never had a pavlova. We shouldn’t of eaten anything else yesterday.

This is nuts! Well here goes nothin’….

Today is another day in paradise. We’re taking a much more relaxed approach to our day today. So shopping it is! That is until we kept getting sticker shock. Queenstown you’re so fancy and expensive. So we abandon our “champagne wishes and caviar dreams” and decide relaxing is for the weak.

Another adventure we seek!

Four hours of gorgeous views and several stops for photo ops (notice a theme here) we arrive in Queenstown.

First and immediate stop (no, not the bathroom) is Heli Tours! We both love to fly so this is an absolute must on our list.

Since it is our 1 year anniversary we splurge (about $1800 USD ) and charter our own private heli tour over/around Queenstown. If you can work this into your budget, DO IT! They also offer group tours if you want a less expensive option.
