hello everyone, been to queenstown this weekend!
drove up in kims car on friday night (well i didnt drive kim did!) and was so pretty, the sun was just setting and all the mountains were a reddy colour! got into queenstown and drove around for a bit trying to find parking before checking in to the hostel and heading out for a wander.
anyways on the saturday headed over the the kawaura (soelling?) bridge as kim wanted to do a bungy. it was such a nice day so hot and sunny! anyways kim did her bungy and got dunked in the river and we watched other people bungying as well before getting the bus back in to queenstown. we wandered around for a bit and went and sat in the park before heading up the gondola (its a cable car over here not a boat!) to the top of the hill. the view from the top was wicked, looking down over queenstown! we went luging as well (a little car type thing u drive down a track as fast as possible) and the lady let us on for free so that was even better! we went for a bit of a walk as well around the skyline track and around the other side were these weird metal figures on the hill! we headed back down the mountain after a bit with this american guy who had also been at the bungy and we arrnaged to meet up later at this italian place.
so we had a meal at the italian before heading over to this place called minus 5 (ironically next door to the boiler room) which is a bar made completely out of ice! we had to put on big parka coats and gloves and we headed in. even the glasses were made out of ice. it was good fun! and the drinks were nice to- some kind of cocktail with vanilla vodka and archers.
on the sunday me and kim headed over to this little place called arrowtown which is thisold gold mining town. it was another really pretty little place in between all these mountains and it was so green! and there was a tap house. lol. anyway we stayed there for a bit, had some coffee and then headed back to invercargill! thats about it really!
