Ann & Sal's Adventures!
Hello!!
Hope you are all well? We said farewell to Sydney on Friday and had a hectic day packing and throwing an unbelievable amount of things that we had acquired over the past few months away. The hangovers that we were both enduring didn't help! The night before we met up with Ann's mate from Uni, Mike, his girlfirend Hannah and her brother. Chris and his little brother Matt who had arrived the day before also came out and we went to a could of bars around the Opera house and then ended up downstairs in an Irish Bar all pretty smashed.
We arrived in Christchurch at about 10:30pm on Friday evening after a 3 hour flight. We got a shuttle from the airport and checked into a hostel and we were in the same room as Jen. Went downstairs for a couple of drinks in the bar. Ann went to bed but Sal got a second wind and went out in Christchurch with Jen and Nick who was also staying in our room but Jen already knew him from Ibiza - completely random that he was staying in the same room!
On Saturday we went to the Botanical Gardens and they were really pretty. We then had an afternoon nap and then went into town for a roast! None of us got much sleep that evening as there was a new guy in our room who snored really loud for then entire evening - VERY annoying!
On sunday we all slept and then rushed to get ready and packed so that we could check out and go to collect the bright orange Spaceship that we will be travelling in - it's a people carrier that you can sleep in. We set off from Christchurch at about midday, our destination being Queenstown. After a 3 hour drive we stopped off for lunch at Lake Tepako. The scenery is spectacular!! We then drove for another 3 hours before we arrived in Queenstown and booked into a campsite that is just a 5 minute walk from the town centre. Queenstown is also a really nice place - Sal loves it!! We went for a couple of drinks in the town after drinking a few vodka mandarins in the back of the spaceship. We plan to stay here again tonight but think that we are going to park up and sleep at the side of the lake??
We've taken some nice shots so will put them on the site soon.
Take care and speak soon,
Ann & Sal xx
