Southland and the Catlins

After Wanaka I went to Queenstown which is the birthplace of bungee jumping and generally the capital of adrenalin activities like sky diving, paragliding, jet boating or downhill biking. I couldn't resist and I book a tandem paragliding flight which was really awesome! Queenstown is also the party-town of New Zealand but this is not why I came here so on the next day I moved on to Te Anau. This was the starting point for my trip to Milford Sound. I booked a trip with a two hour boat ride through the fiord but I was not very lucky with the weather this time. It was extremely windy and rainy most of the time.

On Saturday i drove to the Catlins - the very south of the South Island. I saw the petrified forest at Curio bay and I was very lucky to spot some yellow-eyed penguins at the Nugget point!

On Sunday I stopped in Dunedin where I made bird-watching boat ride and visited the Speight's brewery.
