From Grads to Nomads

Today was rather eventful, as our last day in Queenstown. In the afternoon, we intended to go and play frisbee golf, however, upon getting to the park, we discovered that you have to bring your own frisbee. Since we didn't see a need to own multiple frisbees, we walked around the park instead and climbed up a huge boulder, as you see in the picture. Later in the early evening, I was wandering around alone while the guys were at a movie (it starred 50 cent, hence I had zero desire to see it) and I saw the gondola and decided it would be worth seeing the view of the town before leaving. However, being me, I decided I should hike up instead. 45 minutes later of STRAIGHT uphill, including me taking a shortcut up a steep mountain bike path to avoid the long hikers route, and I was scrambing on my hands and knees over logs, I made it to the top. The view was spectacular, however, due to the spontaniety of me going up, I did not have my camera. I then rode the luge once which was great fun, and had a corono at the bar overlooking the lakes and valley. Then the gondola back down and it was all in all a great time!

Later in the evening, when we all met up, Kirby, Krista, Rob, and I went to the wine store which has a unique tasting system. You buy a card, say 15$ worth, and insert it into a slot which is linked to many wines. They are priced from 1.00 to 11.00 and you get a sample of the wine. They have over 100 to sample, and I tried around 7 for my 15.00. It was really a great last day here in Queenstown!
