Last days

I hate the saying " all good things must come to an end" but sadly, my time in new Zealand has. The last few days have been a whirlwind of adventure and amazing sights. Top on the list so far are a 45m Bungy jump off a bridge, a hike to view lake Wanaka, kayaking in Doubtful sound, eating the best burger at Fergburger in Queenstown, driving the Milford highway, seeing glacier carved valleys and amazing sunsets, seeing Mt.Cook reflected in lake matheson at sunrise, seeing the most stars I've ever seen, including the southern cross and the milky way! The list could go on. I am just in awe of the west coast and fiordland. I truly lucked out with weather. I'm sitting at the queenstown airport waiting for my flight to Wellington and am looking on with envy at the arriving passengers with their big packs and grins. But I will forever treasure my time here and have memories to keep me happy for a lifetime. I have a little less than 20 hours in Wellington before I begin the journey back to the states. I know some of that will be spent downloading my crazy amounts of pictures to my computer so I have backups, walking the city, and spending time with new friends! I can't wait to share my stories in person with you all, but feel free to tell me to shut up if I can't stop talking about new Zealand as I have a feeling I won't be able to :)
