It happened.  After much anticipation, it FINALLY started to sink in tonight that we are actually in New Zealand.  It took some bagpipes, a guy on a unicycle juggling fire, and an incredible view of the mountains from the beach, but it's finally starting to hit me.  My internet use is going to be limited (apparently they're pretty protective of their wifi around here), so I'll summarize the plans for the next few days as adequately as possible.  Tomorrow we are doing something called "canyoning", which looks like it has the potential to be the single coolest thing that has ever been invented.  Basically, it looks like a combination of extreme hiking, zip-lining, and river rafting without a raft.  To say I'm excited would be a gross understatement.  On Saturday, we have plans to hike to the top of a mountain that has a "street luge" track that we can ride down, while simultaneously getting what looks to be an unbelievable view of the city.  Sunday morning we are scheduled to go kayaking, which looks to be slightly less invigorating than canyoning, but every bit as fun.  Monday is our last full day here in Queenstown, and it's slightly more up in the air.  At this point I believe we are planning on potentially going mini golfing and walking around part of the lake, but anything could happen in this town!  For example, today we made good use of our unlimited weekly bus passes and rode around town like the tourists we are, taking in everything we possibly could in the process.  In terms of pictures, I had planned on having more to see on this blog, but the internet we've actually been able to connect to hasn't been terribly excited about the idea of me trying to upload any pictures, and there's a good chance I'll only have internet one out of the next ten days, so just keep an eye on facebook and I'll get those up as soon as I can.  That's all for now, I'm tired and don't want to put anyone to sleep by rambling on about nothing.  CLOSING QUOTE!
