Well this is an easy one to write. I flew to Queenstown, had a burger and meat pie and flew back. Oh and I took some pictures.
I had planned on going to Milford Sound, but the weather was not cooperating. I checked out the famous Fergburger, proclaimed to be the best burgers in the world.
Fergburger is good, but it’s not the best in my book. But I am from Chicago, so I am bit biased. For the sake of this review, I took one for the team and order 2 burgers. And well if I am honest, I was hungry and could not decide what to order. Per the cashier’s suggestion, I ordered the Deluxe and the Wiggum. 1st impression, I much prefer New Zealand meat to Australian. 2nd- Big burgers. 3rd- Why did I think it was good idea to order 2? I did not actually consume the entirety of both burgers. I managed about 1/4 of each.
The next morning, I was suppose to fly down to Milford Sound. The weather was not cooperating, so I took a stroll back down to Fergburger for breakfast. Now meat pies are all the rage in Australia and New Zealand, but I just never felt the love of them. Until I had the Lamb Shoulder and Kumara Pie from Fergbaker. First all, what is Kumara? New Zealand’s version of the sweet potato, in case you were wondering. It was ridiculously good. Like I would fly back to eat one. And the worst part? I was not overly hungry after the previous night’s debacle, so I ended up only ordering one!!!!! Rookie mistake.
Since I was no longer hungry, I headed to the airport to get out of dodge. It never dawned on me that because the little planes could not fly, that the big ones might be having trouble as well. The plane I was departing on had some trouble landing…..
It eventually landed and I was off to Auckland, where I was lucky enough to catch up with a friend. And I finally got see Black Panther on the flight from Auckland to Brisbane. Which of course was SO good. So while it certainly did not go as planned, it turned out pretty well in the end.
Queenstown, New Zealand- May 2018 Well this is an easy one to write. I flew to Queenstown, had a burger and meat pie and flew back.
