My last plane ride from my six month trip

I was sad to be leaving Sydney and I could not believe that the six months are over. Even though I will be leaving the comforts of the warm climate and the country that I could call home, I was happy to be getting back to Canada to see everyone.

I flew from Sydney to Abu Dubai for 15 hours and then had a stop over for an hour and then flew another 15 hours to Toronto.

I flew Ethihad airlines. It is the airlines of the U.A.E. Wow, it is an amazing airline. I would definely fly with them again.
The plane from Sydney to Dubai was massive, 2 engines on each wing and as we took off I could see the wing waving a bit and wondered if it was going to hold on because of the length of it.

Queenstown 2

After a very relaxing time in Milford Sound, I returned to Queenstown and took in a Maouri show which is the native people of New Zealand and went Jet Boating in the Canyon.

Milford Sound

The next day I went out to Milford Sound and went through the fioards. It was beautiful to see it during daylight and a night time. We kayga out in the bay.

Queenstown

After arriving in Queenstown, I found out that the town was actually not as small as I thought it would be. It is very beautiful as it is surrounded by mountains and has many things to do.

I stayed at Pinewood Backpackers which is in the pinewood forest. It is beautiful. It even has a trampoline.

The first day in Queenstown, I tried some unique sports, paragliding, ludging and river boarding.

New Zealand

After enjoying wonderful time in Melbourne, I flew from there to Christchurch. I stayed in Christchurch for the night and took this very cheap bus line called Naked Bus to Queenstown. It was great. The landscape of New Zealand is very different then Australia's landscape.
