So after our little job interview we had two weeks of freedom before we start our job. We decided to start heading north, and to check out Mt. Cook somewhere in there. That was all there really was to the plan. Along the way we stopped in Cromwell. Apparently there was a lady that sold old-fashioned candies (my favourite!) but she had gone out of business so we missed out. Bummer! We also stopped at a vineyard and did a wine tasting. We only made it as far as Wanaka that day, but we're in no rush.
Lake Wanaka
We spent a couple days there, and went canyoning the second day. I didn't know what it was beforehand, but basically it is a combination of rapelling, jumping and sliding down a canyon created by fast-running water (usually down a mountain). Perhaps the videos and photos will explain it better.
I have the yellow helmet and Jared's is white
I'm about to rapel down this!
We slid down that! Here's the video:
Apparently deep in thought..
Jared diving
Me 'diving' or belly-flopping
A littler slide- notice I still squeal

Snack break
Beautiful view of Mt. Aspiring
Down I go!
Head first!
Amazing face expression hahah
Big 7m jump
At the end of it all, everyone in one piece
That was a huge blast, would definitely recommend it! I leave you with these words of wisdom:
Until Next Time!
