5 months and 1700km (1056 miles) later, I've finally arrived in Queenstown! How can I describe my excitement… Arms flailing, lots of yelling, laughing, crying, jumping up and down, leg cramps, cant believe it, am I really here? In the next town! And now that I've arrived, I cant say I've ever felt better. This place is gorgeous, full of tourists and a mind blowing amount of activities to empty your wallet. I'm staying with Fletch and Stacey, 2 friends I worked with on the tip of the people you communicate with to use computers, and the Botanical Gardens which was performed in a seemingly dark, creepy corner of the trail. I also met up with a buddy, Josh, who I met my first day in New Zealand but havent seen since. Blast from the past, mang! So yea, my biking days are over, for now. Can't say I'm very dissapointed! Its about time really, but sheeet, did I ride one hellavu distance. Now everything is working perfectly. I'm going to feel spoiled! For those of you curious when I'm coming back, its looking like the beggining of may. Thats when this link, like an animal’s, and have some pretty cool/bespoke UI patterns. And for you Lord of the Rings fans, here in queenstown a lot of filming was done. I've uploaded some pictures of Mordor and Rohan that I took today while on a 5 hour hike. I felt on those rides: Eventually the slide reopened.
