Welcome!

30.

Hard to believe it is day 30 already. Bittersweet. Wait, no. Mostly bitter. I don't want to leave to go home just yet and I especially don't want to leave New Zealand. Day 30 was spent in Queenstown, New Zealand. We spent the first part of the morning headed on a two hour flight to the south island and the beautiful lake town of Queenstown. I have been all over the world and I thought I would never see anything more beautiful than some of the coastlands of Italy but Queenstown, New Zealand gives anywhere in Italy a run for its money. It is easily the most beautiful and charming place I have ever traveled to. I guess it is like comparing apples to oranges, too different to truly pick a winner. Queenstown is a small community right on the water situated in between massive mountains green lands. I am in love. I would write more, but I think the pictures tell the story best.

We took a gondola to the top of a mountain to ride the luge! So fun.
