New Zealand-03 (Queenstown and Auckland)

Hi, welcome back. Today I will talk about the last two cities in New Zealand I visited.
I arrived in Queenstown by plane on the 16th of March. Queenstown is a small but very nice town in the South Island, surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers. It is also considered the adventure capital of the South Island.
One of the things I did was take a tour were I visited the area around, and saw a lot of beautiful and breathtaking landscapes, including more Lord of the Rings locations.

Some scenes were filmed in this forest


I also had some fun in the city itself, such as visiting a haunted house, eating the famous local Ferg Burger, and going on a bar crawl at night, which included an ice bar.

Lastly, I tried flyboarding, which I had never done before. It was really cool and exhilarating.

On the 21st, I took a plane back to Auckland, where I stayed three nights. There I visited the zoo, where I finally got to see a kiwi (and other animals, of course).

On the 24th, I left New Zealand, and flew to San Francisco.
