Skyline Gondola In Queenstown

This was the entrance to the Kiwi Birdlife Park but we skipped it due to time constrain.

Skyline Gondola entrance.

The view on the gondola.

If you want you can bungee jump while others watch you from the gondola.

The awesome view from the top.

This was one of the original gondola they used.

Downtown Queenstown.

We went on a luge ride.

Those are the luges. It was a lot of fun but since this was our first ride of the day we could only get on the scenic route that was not as steep.

On our way back to the beginning of the luge routes so the boys could get on them again...this time on the adventure route.

Getting ready to ride.

Look at them being silly.

Alice, Ivy and I were suppose to run down to take action pictures but we were only able to take a couple of them...

Since we got too busy taking pictures of ourselves!

Look at the views, how could we not?

It was a bit high for Alice.

On our way down to meet up with the boys.

Cute pic!

It was Emma's turn on the luge.

On our way down on the gondola.

Grandma Long with Ivy.

Our lunch before we headed Northwest toward the Franz Josef Glacier.

Crown Range Road was a winding ride but the views were spectacular!

How can you beat this?

Emma was sound asleep even when the road was full of twists and turns thanks to Chevo's excellent driving skills!

Can you spot them? They were everywhere!

There were lots of lakes so I had no idea which one this was.

People were windsurfing and fishing...how nice.

The views just didn't end.

More sheeps!

More spectacular views...

And more...

Our rental vehicle...no, not the one on the right! One of our few rest/pee/snack stops.

Made the mistake of giving her blue M&Ms...she became as blue as Cookie Monster.

Another one of our stops and this time it was because Emma threw up on herself.

Emma and moooo....

Before the end of the day, Emma learned to moo every time we passed by the cows.

The scenic views were just too much for both of us...we had to take some time for our brains to rest.

We came across a lot of these little bridges and they were all one lane so we had to stop to make sure there weren't any cars coming toward us before we could proceed.

When we got to Franz Josef, we went to the local market to stock up on water and other essentials. So did Emma...

Her choice was so far pretty healthy.

"Hmm...let me see if these ones are better..."

"Okay, I need some breads as well."

"I think I just look more smashing with this red shopping cart!"

How Emma brushed her teeth...

One of Chevo's essentials.

Just in case you woke up after a few drinks and didn't know where you were...(Nueva Zelanda is New Zealand in Spanish.)
