on the way
I spent the night in Oakland, and the next morning I went to the airport and ran to Queenstown.

It was sunny when I got off the plane and landed in Queenstown. I'm really lucky, and my mood is suddenly enlightened. The previous worries were swept away.
Xiaoding met me at the exit, a smart girl with the same weather.
She drove me to my residence, which is a wooden house in the mountains.
Pushing open the door, I was shocked.
You can see the beautiful lake view from the kitchen, the balcony on the first floor and the balcony on the second floor.
Wooden furniture is my favorite pastoral style, and the sunshine is very warm.
Queenstown is not big, but every street has a variety of customs. Unconsciously, when I walked to the lake, my eyes were like a SPA. The blue lake is endless, and seagulls and ducks wander on the shore. There are many speedboats parked in front of the dock, and two wandering artists are singing. People sat on the shore in a daze taking pictures and chatting leisurely.
Sometimes you are shooting the scenery in your own eyes, but you don't know that you accidentally become the scenery in others' eyes.
In the evening, take the TSS Earnslaw steamboat to the farm to watch the shearing. A very old ship, called "Princess on the Lake", was born in 19 12, which was a golden age in the history of ships including Titanic.
When the hull comes ashore, it will make an ancient whistle, as if it had crossed the gorgeous European style at the beginning of the 20th century.
On the third floor of the hull, you can visit freely. You can see that the machine is running and two people are loading charcoal into the stove.
When I arrived at the farm, I chose a window seat. Everyone else at the table was laughing. I take pictures of food alone.
I was going to skydive tomorrow and buy a famous big hamburger in the morning. During the day, Xiaoding didn't say much. There are onions in the hamburger, and the coach is very handsome. Let's keep our image. I think it makes sense!
So I decided to eat more tonight. I sandwiched two pieces of barbecue. As for mutton or beef, I'm too stupid to tell. Not after two bites. No matter how delicious the meat is, I am still weak in this respect, so I went to pick up a few shrimps, and the mussels and shrimps enjoyed themselves.
The uncle on the farm wanted to catch a sheep to perform shearing, but the sheep didn't cooperate. He may not know whether to be slaughtered or shaved the next second.
Just one was caught and dragged out, still lying on uncle's leg.

Next morning, I woke up and opened my eyes. The sun shines on the quilt through the window of the roof, and there is a crisp and pleasant bird song in the ear. I stretched lazily, thinking that I had been worried about the weather before, and I didn't have to jump on sunny days. I didn't expect the weather to be so good today. Skydiving must be perfect.
Like a flying plane, the movie is perfect in an instant. Today's characters are really a big bang.
Walking on the way to town, the beautiful scenery along the way always makes me stop.
There is a slope from the wooden house, and there are homestays on both sides.
Sometimes birds fly overhead, and I haven't heard that pure and happy birdsong for a long time.
The clouds just floated near Lake Wakatip, as if they were within reach.
On the way to town, I went to Star Dad's restaurant and ordered a vanilla latte and ham and cheese.
The waiter wrote my name wrong, but the bacon in the carol was a little salty, and the taste of coffee was still used to it.
I seem to be so obsessed with what I like that I have to take a bite wherever I go.
It's not how delicious it is, but that I'm used to the taste.
On the way from the headquarters of Enzo town.
I thought about it and decided to raise the altitude from 12000 to 15000. It's been more than ten seconds.
Xiao Nan said that she was going to get the certificate today, and the weather in Harbin is also very good today. Do what you want to do.
Lulu's classmate happens to be today's birthday, and it all coincides perfectly.
May 9 th is really a good day.
I paid the upgrade fee, went to a reception room to watch the video, signed the photo package, and then took nzone's car to the outdoor venue.
Coach helped me get dressed, and I wrote "This is life" on my hand.
Finally, I will realize my dream of skydiving before I am thirty.
Although there is still an unfulfilled dream.
But in any case, when I jump from 15 thousand, it will be fixed into eternity and become a memorial of my youth.
I have done everything I can for my youth, and I have no regrets.
On the plane, the plane flew higher and higher, and I was attracted by the mountains and rivers outside.
I especially want to know what it's like to fly in the vastness.
Finally, the door of the hut opened.
I am half suspended in the air and half in the cabin.
Suddenly I felt a little nervous, and a voice in my heart said, Han Xiaowa, what are you doing?
Before I knew it, the coach had jumped and I was taken away by him.
I once imagined what I would think when I jumped,
But the answer is: the scenery is beautiful, the wind is strong and my ears hurt.
I don't even feel the slightest weightlessness. Just take a deep breath when the wind is strong
The umbrella opened quickly, as if the car had braked in the air. The coach patted me and indicated that I could enjoy this moment with open arms.
At the foot are magnificent lakes and mountains, and the wind is very light, as if it were flying slowly.
The coach asked me how I felt, and I said it was great.
It's already half past two in skydiving. It's not too late. I don't want to waste this beautiful weather.
Go to Arrow Town and see the world where the color board is overturned.
Arrow Town is located at 2 1km northeast of Queenstown, which is one of the picturesque residential areas in New Zealand.
Arrow Town is located on the Arrow River. It used to be a busy gold rush, and many China miners struggled here.
It can also be said that this is the place where China people first left the most footprints.
The golden autumn in Arrow Town is in the middle and late April. Although I missed it, there were many maple leaves nearby, but it didn't affect its beauty at all. Now it has its present beauty.
The colorful mountains in the distance attracted me to walk towards it step by step and approached the Arrow River at its foot.
I must leave my figure in this beautiful scenery.
Of course, there is no boyfriend-tripod.
An Indian couple watched me running around the river in various strange postures and laughed for a long time.

Open your eyes and think about whether to go bungee jumping in the morning. After all, Aj and I were born in the same year, which is the birthplace of bungee jumping.
When I got up, I found that my whole body looked like a broken shelf. I think yesterday was too high. I'd better go to town to buy something to eat and go to Greennoche in the afternoon.
Every day, the scenery along the way from my residence to town always makes me stop and go.
Fergburger, which queues up in the city every morning and evening, is a legendary mass burger bigger than the face.
The meat is delicious and juicy. Pineapple is very fresh. It's the first time I've eaten such a textured hamburger.
Although I don't remember most of the movies, I saw Middle-earth with my own eyes.
It feels good to have afternoon tea in the forest. Grandpa, the driver and tour guide, brought cookies and drinks.
Everyone else drinks hot cocoa and asks me what to drink. I said coffee, and he said it was good. I ordered his only bag of coffee.
It feels good to have a picnic in the forest. Everyone drank hot drinks, ate cookies, listened to the old man talking about the Lord of the Rings, and talked and laughed with each other.
Another sister imitated the scene of The Lord of the Rings, lying on a big stump with a sword in her chest, and someone took pictures.
A big brother in Shanghai took a big scene with a drone. It's really cool.
He also shared it with me on airdrop, which blinded me.
I found a heart-shaped stone on this beautiful shore, and I stuffed it into my backpack.
I plan to take it back to China and give it to my favorite young man in the future.
On the way back, my English sister handed me a thick book.
It recorded all the names, places of origin and words to her.

Cloudy days are suitable for getting up late. Get up and eat something. The winery car will pick it up at noon.
The driver came down to open the door for me and asked me where I came from. As soon as I mentioned China, he asked whether it was Shanghai or Beijing.
These days, I am very helpless. Foreigners don't seem to know anything outside these two places.
I can only say that China is a big place, not just these two places.
The scenery on the way to the winery and Arrow Town is a style, even if it is cloudy, it will not affect its beauty at all.
The first brewery to arrive
New Zealand's world-famous wines are Sauvignon Blanc and Black Pi Nuo. Although the capital is in North Island, many excellent wines come from South Island.
Different from Europe, New Zealand wines give people a little fresh feeling.
We had lunch at the second brewery, where there was a large lavender field.
The flower language of lavender is: waiting for love.
Don't come back until you're drunk. The scenery in the winery is so beautiful.
Slightly tipsy.
To a glass of wine. Let us forget the past. No matter where he wakes up tomorrow.
At night, I went back to my stomach full of wine and felt very empty. I go to fish bones to eat lobster.
It's really hard to forget. Qingkou enjoys it.
There are various customs in Lake Wakatip at night.
When I was a child, I longed for the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the wishing pool in Rome, but I was not too excited after seeing it with my own eyes.
Queenstown is a place that surprises me very much. It has no luxury brands, no tourist attractions on bad streets,

I'm not going anywhere today. I want to stay in town and wander around.
Because the return date is approaching tomorrow, the downhill is much slower than usual.
I always wanted to buy Lululemon. I've been struggling with the size of official website, because many things were shelved before I left.
There is only one shop in town. It's time to pull up the grass. The gym at home is finally open, so you can start the exercise mode when you go back.
The waiter will write my name on the door of the fitting room and keep asking if the size is right.
I picked up some fallen maple leaves in the street and put them in my notebook as souvenirs. I went back and made a specimen to hang in my room.
The chocolate shop by the lake is very beautiful. Everyone likes to drink hot cocoa. I ordered one, too I kind of think of Gao Legao. I still like coffee best.
It is said that the steak and lamb chops in this shop are very good, but for a vegetarian like me, I'd better give it up.
Another chocolate shop has many kinds of ice cream. I prefer mint, as if I were eating toothpaste.
There is a crystal shop in Queenstown, which is full of stones and crystals.
Seeing this row of pendants, I suddenly remembered an afternoon in junior high school, shopping with friends, stories about stones, and about those years.
In this shop, the medium-rare cow has tender eyes and no bloody smell.

Saturday morning is the market in Queenstown.
Many artists sell homemade handicrafts, such as paintings, jewels and shells.
I am a little hungry when I think of the vudu breakfast that Xiaoding has been boasting about.
So I rushed into the store to have breakfast and, of course, my favorite latte.
Sitting at the table outside, I enjoyed the beautiful Lake Wakatip for the last time.
Now, I probably understand why people who come back are so obsessed with him.
Breakfast in Wudu is really delicious.
Half-boiled fried eggs are on the top of the dish, with shredded beef in them. The sauce is very special, a bit like black pepper sauce and a bit spicy, with pancake bottom at the bottom.
At the dinner table, I was captured by the aroma.
Satisfied, I filled my stomach and went to the market. A booth attracted me.
There are several stacks of cards on the table, and an astrolabe with large and small stones on it is painted on the tablecloth.
I think this is probably a tarot card. I asked Xiaoding, and she said yes.
So I sat down and drew five cards. You can hear clearly in front, but you can't understand behind.
The card-counting uncle called a China girl at the booth next to him. He said she was his friend.
The first card, surrounded by red flames, means that you are tired of your past life and want to break out and make a breakthrough.
I said yes, I came to Queenstown.
The second card, he said that there are angels helping me in the dark, so everything I want to pursue now will be successful.
The third card is the one on the left, which means that in the next six months, I will forgive those who have hurt me in the past and let go of the past.
The fourth card is the top one, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, which means that I can meet someone who is very suitable for me in the next six months or a year. We will have a healthy and happy relationship, and I will make many friends.
The card in the middle is the fifth card, representing the overall fortune, with mountains and rivers above and lakes below. It says that I am a girl with sunny appearance and a little sadness in my heart, but there is a green river in the upper left corner of the card, which means that everything will get better after meeting that boy.
I don't know if his calculation is accurate, but it is still a good hope. At least for the first time in my life, I forgot tarot cards.
There are many interesting gadgets in the market.
Can you guess that these cakes that look particularly appetizing are actually handmade soaps?
I like this golden tree very much. Sunlight always gives me an indescribable sense of joy through the leaves.
On the lawn not far from this tree, artists are playing and singing, and everyone is sitting on the lawn listening.
Everyone applauded at the end of the song, like a small concert.
Say goodbye.
Last time I was in Queenstown.
