Hello!
I have just tried to upload some photos but this computer is just not letting it happen so you will have to wait, sorry!
anyway queenstown . . . . the adventure capital of NZ.
from Franz its a long drive . . we stopped and fox glacier and a few other lovely places on the way. by afternoon we got to wanaka (we would have like to stay here but due to time we colud only stop fot the half hour - theres so much to do in 4 weeks! anyway we spent the half hour wondering around pharmacies trying to get hold of antibiotics for duncs fat foot! the aussie dr who we had met in our dorm couldnt prescrible them (cos we were in NZ!) but we tried!
so on arival to QT we settled into our hostel . . ate the free soup! the went to the medical centre. the dr was saw was actually really worried about duncs foot and glands. he was talking about iv antibiotics and going to hospital! anyway he prescribed a heavy does of oral antibiotics and 24 hours of rest! we didnt tell the dr we had planned to go cannyoning the next day . . anyway we decided this wasnt the best hting so changed it to the sat. Fri evening we sat by the waterfrong (dunc with his water!) having to take 2 tablets 4 times a day has been a challenge to eat as they have 2 be taken on an empty stomach!
friday we had a chilled out day we went up on the gondala and luckily had good weather for the views. half an hour later it was pooring with rain and we couldnt c a thing. we also did a luge which was the funnist thing ever! it was very fast (go karting down a hill with no engine, just a brake!) on the way back to the hostel we found an amazing indoor mini golf!
saturday the foot was much bettwer so we spent the day canyoning . . .absailing down waterfalls and jumping into waterfalls. ther water was so high tho we almost coludnt go, and we had to cut the last little bit out cos it was 2 dangerous . . the water was flowing so fast! we then retured to queenstown and had a fegburger! any1 who has been here will know that is the biggest yummist burger you can possibly ever get! (thanks tracey!)
again that evening just had a few drinks in a few local bars.
so that was queenstown . . . the foot and swollen glads are all nearly better now!
next stop dunedin.
hope everyone is well . . . sorry if this is all very waffly and boring!! we're only 2 weeks in!! how bored will you be after 4 months!
love sarah and dunc xxxxxxxxxxx
