Fiordland National Park. BREATHTAKING







So went on a 12hr tour of the Fiordland National Park. Located in the southwest corner of the South Island of New Zealand. It is the largest national parks in New Zealand. One of the main areas of beauty is called Milford Sound. Check out wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiordland_National_Park) for some more info in more detail.

I can't explain how breathtaking it is. I'm actually speechless. No words can articulate this, no pictures can capture it. You just need to see this with your own eyes.

Ben Lomond, Queenstown, New Zealand




















Not going into too much detail here. A few pics from the breath taking Ben Lomond Mountain. I walked about half way up I think. It's really hard to tell how far you have went with all the twists and turns. The only real way to have some estimate on how far up you are is from the signposts you pass. They give an idea how how far it is to each point and the time from the start to the summit. Heres a bit of info from wiki :

Ben Lomond is a mountain located close to Queenstown, New Zealand. The summit lies approximately 4 km northwest of the town centre, and reaches a height of 1,748 m (5,735 ft).

I've decided I'm going go the distance and go to the top later on this week. The half or so I done was physically exhausting and I'm feeling it in the legs as we speak.

Though it was all worth it. Why ? Well all I can say is look at the pictures. It will give you a glimpse at maybe 10% of how truly amazing and beautiful it is.

Abre los ojos

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.

Better that you find this out now...

Rachel Hansen: Better that you find this out now before you come home and find her in bed with Lars from Norway.
Tom: Who's Lars from Norway?
Rachel Hansen: He's some guy she met at the gym with Brad Pitt's face and Jesus' abs.





Great film.

So..

the night before I go or in fact the morning before I go should I say.

Tired but yet can't sleep. Excited yet stressed and anxious due to the fact I have an exam in the afternoon which I could really do without especially as it's a regulation exam. About as interesting as rice cakes. I cant stomach rice cakes and I cant stomach anything regulation wise. I cant digest rice cakes and I cant digest the information if I aint interested.

Today is going to be one long day. It's now 1.36am on the 19th Sept. I'm up at 9am to try and do a bit more study (and get down on my knees and pray). The exam is on at 2pm so after it's done (possibly 2.01...) I'll have to head home, finish packing and do a few bits. Sisters are coming up I think for dinner. I'm sure I'll double check everything in a panic that I've left something out and then I'll head over to _ house on the DART (train service). Plan is to stay up and then I'll get the taxi from there at 5am as I need to be at the airport at 5.30am.

I'll fly to London Heathrow. Get on the connecting flight, pop a pill and hopefully wake up in Singapore. Well that's the plan at least....
