glacier Leaving to head to Queenstown. This city is known worldwide as the capital of extreme sports and adventure. The truth is that the surrounding environment invites to spend all day doing outdoor activities. It is located near a large lake (Lake Wakatipu) and has the background a beautiful Mountains originally called "Remarkable Mountains, also passed by those mountains Frodo and his ... for most of NZ. 
Around Queenstown is the bridge where he made the first jump of "bungee jumping" of history. We visited and had a good time watching people jump around kinds of styles, from the girl's Olympic photo even some that fell like sacks. We were pleasantly surprised to see so many girls jumping ... in fact for the fourth time we spent there we only saw two guys ... and one pit! 
Since we planned our trip to New Zealand we knew we were going to have to make a decision regarding the number of activities to be performed. With the rental car and pal gasofa baby, we were not very loose as to squander. Pequenho In a crisis committee, we decided it was best to choose the most canhera of all activities for that throw to the other and so would pass into the background so ...
With a couple, we signed a "Skydiving" I think the best translation is free fall from height of 12000 feet (3600 meters) ... we Quee, jumped from an airplane!! INCREIIIIBLEEEE was I amazed, looking at the tranquility of Marta (making jokes and all) as he rose to the height of the aircraft arrival at the three ... well, six and that the jump was a tandem and we had our "Master" stuck the respective hump ... actually nine because, pa once you jump off a plane in flight, it is better to have the graphic story in full, so I also had a camera for everyone. As the plane was not a Boeing, we were more apretao that sardines. Top us you have to the three musketeers dressed in the costume in which they stick to the jump. Below left, Martinha at the time of jump, and right, myself on a banana as we had explained on the ground.
be thinking .... cheap, cheap, no? Of course not, but certainly it was worth. You really have three activities in one: first the rise in aircraft seeing the sights of the city (15 minutes), then free fall (40 seconds) ... 40 seconds long but they seem, have the brain feeling drunk, you're falling to almost 200 km / h, you look a little curvature of the earth, we think that only I put back the hair like hooks. To conclude, the parachute deployed and the heart pounding, a little calm down and widescreen (15 minutes).
We have many photos and above all, the most cool, a DVD and you will see when we return. The company was super-professional and the truth is that a lot Lo Curro. As an appetizer here you have the nose of our aircraft and a modern shepherd Quaderizado "that frightened the sheep from the runway ... we were starting from laughter to see him leave fuck out when he approached the plane.
Below you have a superwoman Martinha giving everything in his jump, too many words:
Below I am, with the face of movie, and pasandomelo as a dwarf. Once again a picture is worth more quee ...
After the adrenaline rush that we had in the body, decided to celebrate and even have a curious copichuela a bar in the center of the city .. . is called "Minus 5" ... for sabioncillos, if it is a bar where everything is ice from the floor, walls, even the own drinks ... keep it between 5 and 10 degrees below zero permanently. I offered a cocktail of vodka during the 20 minutes of the visit ... did not really want to be more ... that pellets! (In the picture you have to Marta and Javier with two friends that we made in the South Island and with whom we have met often enough, Nick and Laetitia). Finally, we get to see a Kiwi ... though this seemed to have mobility problems ... 
After all the excitement, we needed a little relaxation and headed to Milford Sound, to visit its waters in a boat. It's called "Sound" incorrectly, he explained the guide should be "Fiord, since the valley, then flooded by the Tasman Sea, was formed by a glacier and not by a river (that yes, it would be a "Sound"). So Javier, Marta and I have crossed eyes and said in unison: "I mean that a sound is a ria ".... many anhos trying to explain the concept of Ria de Vigo to penha and finally we have found it" Sound Vigo ". 
On the way to the fjord did a couple of stops to walk a bit and see the landscape of the area. We had a nice walk through an indigenous forest where the most impressive was the amount of moss that covered every inch of ground. I think this in one of the wetter areas of the world ... we witness. We also met with "Kea" a species of parrot (the only alpine parrot in the world) that is threatened and only lives in the South Island New Zealand. Threatened or not, the bird is quite bastard and is not afraid of anything. In fact he had a couple of Japanese quite uneasy while leafing through the meal he had in his car. I made front face to face ... 
The cruise itself is wonderful, seeing waterfalls, marine life and especially the most appreciable that preside Mountains all the way through the fjord. So that you have a reference scale, one step ahead of our cruise peazo type the "QueenMary" entering the fjord .... honestly looked like a boat against the rock wall around it. The day was quite regular with clouds and some rain ... but gave it a mystical touch the path that he had no evil. 
With the billet that sent you, leave the gastronomic theme for other entries a little more light ... follow route, but that'll tell you some other time .
Kisses for everyone.
