Deer park heights- Queenstown

Innan vi akte ifran Queenstown korde vi upp till Deer Park Heights. Har spelades vissa scener ur Sagan om Ringen in! Men det var nog mest alla djur, som rorde sig fritt i parken, som blev en extra glad overraskelse! Omgivningarna var hur fina som helst! Otroligt vackert! Skulle jag gora en film, sa hade jag ocksa valt ett land som Nya Zeeland! Sa de' sa!

Before we left Queenstown, we drove up to Deer Park Heights. It's famous for being the setting of some of the Lord of the Rings scenes! It was cool to see, but I think was struck us most about this park, was all the animals walking around as if nothing was bothering them! The sourrondings was unbelievable! Breathtaking to say the least! For the record, If I was to make a movie, I would also pick New Zealand for the making of it! :)

Jetboating

Sa hade det da blivit dags for Rochelles fodelsedagspresent. En nara doden upplevelse kan man saga. Det var inte sa mycket de 360 graders snurrarna som gjordes, eller den hoga hastigheten (85 km/h), utan det faktum att vi va decimeter ifran klippvaggarna! "Nu dor vi, nu dor vi"! var varan upprepade fras. Men vi kom levande darifran! Haha, kul var det! Tummen upp! The time had come, for Rochelles birthday present to happen! It became a near death experience wrapped in gold paper...! Haha, It was awesome! It wasn't so much the 360 degree turn the jetboat did, not even the speed (85 km/h) scared us, but it was the few inces from the cliffs that almost stopped our hearts! "we're going to die, we're going to die"! came out of our mouths just before every corner! But as you all cam see, we got out of there alive! Thumbs up!

Queenstown

Queenstown! Vilken harlig stad/by! Liten, men full av liv! Har stannade vi i tva natter, varav en i var bil pa stranden! Det var ytterligare en 'million dollar view'! Den hade varit totalt fullandad om vi inte fatt pahalsning av en 'ranger' som pekade pa en skylt (som vi arligt talat inte sag!!) dar det stod "Strictly NO camping". Vi fick 5 minuter pa oss att aka, annars hade vi suttit dar med en 400 dollars boteslapp i handen.... eh,... Men tummen upp! Det ar ju detta som ar aventyret!
Queenstown! We liked that place alot! Small, but full of people and happenings! We stayed two nights, one of them in our car, on the beach. It was once again a 'million dollar view'! It would have been complete if we hadn't got a visit from the ranger early in the morning.... We had 5 minutes to move away, or else ther would be a 400 dollar fine.... ooopppsss. He refered to a sign (that we honestly hadn't seen!!) where it said: Strictly NO camping! Haha, but this is part of adventures, right?!

Ogoninfektion/Eye infection

Aj aj, mitt oga hade kliat och besvarat mig i veckor. Nu nadde det kulmen, och jag ringde mitt forsakringsbolag i Spanien. Efter nagra timmar ringde de upp mig fran en lakarstation har pa Nya Zeeland, och jag var valkommen att valja tid och plats for besoket. Sagt och gjort, vi var anda pa vag mot Queenstown, sa det fick bli ett lakarbesok dar.
Fick en jattetrevlig lakare, ikladd jympadojor och shorts.... Marks att man ar i friluftslandet Nya Zeeland! Han kollade ogat noga, hallde bl.a i en orange vatska for att se om hornhinnan var skadad. Snygg jag blev va! Allt var bra, men en infektion hade jag helt klart. Fick antibiotika i ogonsalveform utskriven. Snabbt o latt, behovde inte betala for besoket. Tank va bra en reseforsakring kan vara!

My eye had been bothering me for a longer time now. It drove me CRAZY with its iching and hurting! I called my insurance company in Spain. After a few hours they called me up from a medical centre here in New Zealand. I could come whenever I prefered. We were on our way to Queenstown, so I decided to go that afternoon. A nice doctor took a good look at my eye. He was wearing sneakers and shorts.... Hmmm, that's SO new zealand style! ;) He put some orange stuff in my eye to see if there were any scratches etc. It was all good, but I definitely had an infection. I got some antibiotics for the eye. It was quick and easy, didn't have to pay a thing. It's always good to have a travel ensurance!

Alexandra

Har i Alexandra stannade vi pa ett vandrarhem. Vi kande att vi bovde en dusch och en riktigt sang efter nagra natter i bilen. Vi knackade pa hemma hos Marj pa Marj's place. Vi fick ett rum, och det var som att bo hemma hos henne. Jattefint, nyrenoverat! Dar satt Rochelle och jag och sag pa Hitta Nemo och skrattade tarar! Det ar ju en exstremt bra film! Haha!

Nar vi skulle aka dagen efter fick vi en hel pase full med tomater, odlade i hennes tradgard! Mumma! Hon rekomenderade oss aven att aka och kopa billig frukt pa nagon av de lokala odlarna, och det gjorde vi! En hel kartong for 15 kr!

Ett annat tips vi fick var att aka och ata detta goda! Ojoj, farska bar med glass, gradde och chokladtarta som lag under! Jag behover inte saga mer va? :)

We needed a shower and a bed after a few nights in the car. We knocked on 'Marj's place's' door in Alexandra. We got a room, and it was like living in her house, very "homie" and everything was newly renovated. Rochelle and I spent the night watching Finding Nemo, and we laughed our asses off (good thing we are easy to entertain...) ;)

When we left the next day Marj gave us a bag of tomatoes from her back yard! She also recommended us to go buy some cheap fruit from the local farmers. And so we didi. We got ALOT for under 2 euros!

We also went to have some of this... (se photos above). I think a comment would be too much, I think it speaks for it self....

Baldwin Street

Detta ar Baldwin Street i Dunedin Det ar varldens brantaste backe! Det trodde jag faktiskt inte jag skulle hitta har pa Nya Zeeland, men dar har vi ju hela overraskningsmomentet i att resa, eller hur..? ;)

This is Baldwin St in Dunedin. This is the steepest road in the world! I honestly didn't think I would find that here, but I died. Always nice with surprises!
