Started our NZ holiday on Saturday morning, leaving from Melbourne at 6:40am. We landed in Queenstown, NZ at about 11:30am and started to check the place out.

Andy, Jay, Laurelle, Ewan and Stretch in Queenstown. The Remarkables behind.

First stop was some lunch at Fergburger. Some very nice gormet-style burgers, and later checking into our hostel accommodation and visiting some local establishments for some refreshments.

Catching up with Sam at the pub.

I even managed to catch the end of the Geelong v Richmond game. Well done to Blakey for kicking his first 2 goals in AFL, and smashing Richmond to extend their winning streak to 13 games.

We then took the Gondola up the mountain and hit some luge. Total carnage.

The Exteme Team, preparing for some Luge action.

Skiing at Coronet Peak was also carnage, as I am probably the weakest Skier out of the bunch. Let me tell you, I ate some serious snow.

We just got back from the Shotover Jet Boat ride. Very high speed jet boat through a little river. Very extreme.

Stay tuned for updates, and more photos.
