I'm SO extreme!

I have internet again! Yay! More blogging for ya'll.
So, yesterday we woke up at our hotel in Queenstown, checked out and drove to "Shotover Jet". It's one of the most famous jet experiences in the world apparently. We had heard a lot about it so decided to do it. It's basically a jet boat that goes really fast through this canyon on a river that at places is only 6 inches deep! They pretend like they are going to run into the rocks and the sides to freak you out. They also do multiple 360 degree turns! haha It was a blast. Not too scary or anything just pure fun. I liked it a lot. You got really wet as well. We had a lot of screamers on our ride as well so every time he would almost run into the rock wall people would scream at the top of their lungs. Including me just for fun ;)
We then hit the road towards the town of Glenorchy, where a lot of the Lord of the Rings filming was done apparently. The thing is when they say this, the places are so big you have no idea where they specifically filmed it. So, we could've seen some places they fimed...maybe not haha We decided to hike up towards a waterfall, which we thought would only take an hour and 40 minutes but realized it took like two and a half hours to get there, which would mean like five hours total of hiking which we didn't have time for. So, we turned back around with out seeing the falls. We did see some great scenery though. Every where in New Zealand is gorgeous so we weren't at a loss. The whole hike is one of the top ten best hikes in the world...if we would've of finished the WHOLE thing...which would've taken us a day. OH, this next thing was an experience. We were driving a long out of Glenorchy (sheep grazing everywhere of course) and all of sudden we come to a part of the road that is blocked by a huge group of sheep! I had seen pictures of sheep blocking the road and now I was actually experiencing it. But, that's not all. We were waiting there not sure what to do when all of a sudden the sheep turn towards us and start to run. They were stampeding us! It was hilarious. My mom was freaking out that they were hit the car but they just trotted around us on all sides. The guy and his dogs came up behind and he gave us a wave to go ahead. I took some pictures of it! I finally figured out how to post pictures on my blog, so I'll be posting a few pics here and there on here. Most of them will be on facebook though!
We drove back towards Queenstown and headed up towards the town of Wanaka, a pretty town right on a lake. It was really quiet there though because it was a Sunday...not much going on! We stayed at a really old motel (for only 80 NZDollars though! That is really pretty cheap for NZ hotels) with partly carpeted walls! We went out to eat where I got pork loin and mash (mashed potatoes) and I met a girl who goes to "Uni" or University in Dunedin. She said that University gets pretty crazy down here. Uh oh! Not good for my mother to hear. We'll see how Canterbury is. We got back to our hotel room, watched some Burn After Reading or something like that and fell asleep. Exciting.
Today, we drove from Wanaka up to the town of Haast, stopped at the beach which was really pretty. We're on the West side of the country now, which is much more rainforesty. It's really coo how different New Zealand is in different regions of the country. We continued driving into Fox Glacier, had some food (we hadn't eaten all day) and continued onto Franz Josef Glacier where we are just hanging in our hotel room for now. We are going to take a guided hike (4 hours long) up on the actual glacier tomorrow which should be cool! Even though it's summer, there's a glacier here. I guess the mountains keep it cool.
Alright, more later! Thanks for reading everybody :)
