Last night we walked into town…. freezing our butts off… and decided to go to the Boiler Room Bar before heading into the Minus 5 bar, which is a bar made completely of ice! You are only allowed in for 30 minutes by law due to possible hypothermia… the temperature inside was -7.7 degrees. Even our vodka cocktail glasses were made of ice… Groovy!
Well, unfortunately with the cold front coming in and warnings of 20cm of snow in 2 hours, we upped sticks and got out of Dodge, well Te Anau…. and had to miss the sights of Milford Sound.. a shame but we plodded on to Queenstown, 2ookm North(ish) which is situation next to The Remarkables, a pretty nice looking mountain range…
Queenstown is “the adrenaline capital of the World” and as such, we have booked ourselves on a Canyon Swing, some Jet Boating, and a helicopter trip over The Remarkables (weather dependant !!)
See the following sites for more info!
We shall be staying the night here, and probably tomorrow…. so no driving after the activities! Nice!!
Woke up and got on the road to Te Anau… another 300kms South and West of Duedin, near the Fiordlands….
The plan was to get a helicopter to see the sights from the air… unfortunately bad weather of high winds, snow and rain has cancelled all that and we have sat in the van… keeping warm!!! I took a couple of photos on a brief sunny 5 mins… Jen studying hard!!!
