YEEEHAWW

 Wow! Queenstown is amazing! Theres tons to do here and have gotten to meet a bunch of great people! Last few days have been packed full with adventures 2 of my new buddies has had off work part of the week and we have taken advantage of it!
Ment to post this when i got here.. just a shot of me riding to ChristChurch with all my stuff! i love being able to ride out of the airport!


Every night so far me and the gang below have been cooking up a storm! Its amazing how fast you can really get to know people and feel like you have known them forever!

One day there was a storm rolling in ... why not get the gang together and go out in the lake during it!... the water in the lake is soooo cold! hence the wetsuits haha

Early this week while everyone was at work i hiked up to the top of Ben Lonmond ...the hike up was great ... the hike down i thought id get crazy and make my own trail! well that was a bad idea! The mountain was so steep i was more less sliding down the whole thing! I felt like it took a hour longer than the normal path would have taken and by the time i came out of the woods i probably looked like i had been in there for months and needed help! i was covered in dirt and twigs hanging off me! Not to mention i walked out in to a nice neighborhood! haha few cuts and scrapes in the end... good fun was had!
This is why i went the other way there was so many jagged rocks and it looked amazing!

I was wishing i could have a picture taken of me on this rock so i took one of this random person!

After getting cleaned up from the hike everyone said we were going to 20cent wing night!! i said hell yea! ...  Me, Pete, Richie ordered 100 wings... got 110..and 2 things of fries! .... i ate 40 wings myself and thought i was going to die! the good thing is all the wings got eaten.. we did not eat all of them but gave the few remanding away! 

 So we were giving a car that we could use for a few days while a friend is out of town.. we decided to drive to a place called paradise.. yeah leave paradise to go to paradise weird i know!Either way i got to drive on the wrong side of the road for the first time!
Richie and Pete rainy days don't stop us!!

We wanted so badly to get to that water fall! ... maybe next sunny day we can wade thought the river!

Richie found this skull!

We were a little reckless driving our friends car and had a real interesting last few days getting the car back to Queenstown to get a new starter put in:( Sam if you see this it will be fixed before your back! haha shit!

I took this picture with Pete's Fixed 50mm lens after getting towed out we needed to chill out so we had a few beers and fished while we waited for our buddy adam to come save the day and bring us back to Queenstown! Thanks bud!



The guys have a random kayak with no paddle so i took it out one day and used a shovel for my paddle! 

I love Mountains!!

Drive to Paradise is amazing! 


Paradise!


Rainy day ends in a rainbow! Not bad at all!
