Rob Roy Glacier and Skydiving

This weekend more St. Lawrence kids joined us from Australia. We headed out of Dunedin with 14 people and 3 cars. We had a great time on the drive blasting music and made a stop at our favorite fruit stand outside Cromwell. We camped on Lake Wanaka and spent the next morning making breakfast burritos and hanging out by the lake. 

That afternoon we hiked to the Rob Roy Glacier. It was a great day hike and the Glacier was gorgeous. At the top we ate lunch, encountered some aggressive kea, and hiked up to waterfall for the coldest shower of my life. That night we drove to Queenstwn to visit our favorite campsite, Moke Lake. We drove the Crown Range from Wanaka to Queenstown and set up camp late. We had a great dinner and listened to music while star gazing. 

The next morning we drove into Queenstown without any expectations for the day and ended up jumping out of a plane. Max, Luke, Dave, Tyler, Lindsay, and I went skydiving that afternoon from 15,000 ft. The ride up was unreal. We could see the entire Queenstown area, and at the very top we could see both the East and West Coasts. The free fall at the beginning was like nothing I had ever felt, and once the parachute was pulled the ride down was so gorgeous. When we got back to Queenstown we stopped at our favorite gelato shop and hit the road for Dunedin.
