The BEAUTIFUL Blue Mountains :)
On the June long weekend, we made the trip to the Blue Mountains just outside of Sydney. We spent two days hiking the amazing terrain and were blown away by the incredible landscapes in this area of the country.
On Day 1, we hiked Govett's Leap and Evan's Lookout and finished the day with a stop at the Three Sisters. Here are some pics of our day. On Day 2 we hiked the Wentworth Falls loop and saw even more great sites.

The South Island Con't. The Last of NZ... Kayaks on Milford Sound, and Queenstown, what a beauty!
The Last of Beautiful New Zealand
Milford Sound
After leaving Dunedin, we made the trek to Milford Sound. It took most of the day but the views were amazing. As you drive through the mountains to get to Milford, you end up going through this kilometre long one lane tunnel that they had to cut right through the mountain in order to reach the sound. We stayed at the Milford Sound Lodge in a little cabin made out of a storage container next to the water, at the base of a mountain under the stars. It was one of the most beautiful places either of us have ever been to.
We awoke early the next morning and hit the water on our Kayaks!! It was an INCREDIBLE day on the water.
QUEENSTOWN
Queenstown is a lot like the Banff of New Zealand. A beautiful mountain town, lots of little shops and restaurants and lots of fun adventures! We spent our first day there walking around shopping and had a great Thai lunch. Later on we came back into town and had an amazing meal at Speight's Ale House right in front of a massive fire place. It was so nice to finally relax, sleep in and chill.
The next day we hit Queenstown Hill, a beautiful hike with a great view of Queenstown at the top! I am a huge fan of the beautiful forests here with no SPIDERS or SNAKES, the warm moist air, and the amazing landscapes.
PS. This was the cheapest gas we got all trip.. 206.9! Nuts!

Ready to Paddle!!!
I have never seen such smooth water and stunning views. This is Bowen Falls; it is 3x the size of Niagara Falls!
