Fordy On Tour
New Zealand entry number 2!
Well....... Queenstown is pure action packed, on Monday i did a canyon swing with nick and amie, which is basically a 60metre freefall drop then you do a big swing across the canyon to the other side and swing back again. it was really good fun, there's a few pictures of me in the picture section
also on monday me nicka nd mike took the gondola to the top of a mountain and did some luge rides. we did 5 races in the carts, i won 3 races, nick 2 and mike 0 so i was crowned luge champion!! mike fell out the cart on one race and cut his arm!
that same night i went out for ''a few drinks' with fay beccy olivia baz and ronin, also joined by a scottich couple and james and tracey from fiji. we started at 5 and didn't get home until about 4.30am! it was zoe and mike's last night so met up with them and we all partied the night away. i also stole a wooly hat from some girl who i've no idea who she is, i don't remember doing it though...... oh well!! when i got back to the hostel i found nick passed out right infront of our door lying on the left overs of his burger, i think i woke the whole corridor up with laughing!!
Tuesday was interesting, i had 2 hours sleep and had to get up to go skiing! i apparently smelt the bus out of alcohol and was still drunk!! i couldn't stand up on the ski's let alone try to ski down a hill!! i started to sober up and got the hang of it pretty well and by the end of the day i was pretty confident at it. we all had a quiet night in that night and back to skiing the next day, it was so much fun, not anly was i sober this time but we all got the hang of it too, me and nick who had never been skiing before went down a freestyle course with the girls who had been a few times before! oh dear lord, i've no idea how we managed to stay on our feet, we flew down the course and even did a mini jump (not intentionally, i was just going too fast and got off the ground a little!)
me and nick moved into the hostel with the girls, we great fun, they made us breakfast and dinner!!
on the thursday the girls had a bit of a lesbian kissing night, me and nick didn't complain! we went to an ice bar that night too where everything is made of ice including the furniture and even the glass you drink from!
we out for a meal where i got mine for free cos they brought it out about 5 mins after everyone else, also got a free shot of grappa for their troubles!
me and nick had a 'man's day'away from the girls so that i could try to straighten him up, he'd started to turn a bit gay hanging with the girls too long! we had a lie in, all you can eat pizza, went to the pub, talked about football, women and beer then went to the cinema to watch the new will ferrell film tallageda nights.......shake and bake!
we saw rachel when we were down the pub, she'd been given a puppy to look after by a couple of locals for a couple of hours, they called her when we were with her, they were on their way to auckland.....not sure what happened to the dog, i'll have to find out from rachel!
on my last night in queenstown we al wnet out, although didn't sleep for 1 minute, we were partying all night long and had to get on the bus at 8am, i just slept the whole way to dunedin!
i slept the whole time in dunedin from 8pm until 7am! pretty much wasted it really cos no idea what it has to offer, supposed to be quite nice place though!
walked up the steepest street in the world and saw some sea lions and penguins on the beach. we stayed in a town of a population of a massive 11 the next night! we had a quiet one and played cards all night with tom, lindsey, jen, claire, a japanese guy and the bus driver
milford sound was a beautiful place, we went on a boat cruise for a few hours and saw some fantastic scenery, waterfalls and rainbows
went back to queenstown for the night cos it's on the way to christchurch and met up with helen, mel and amie again for a few drinks. long journey to christchurch the next day and met up with ian all the way from cricklade and we all went out on the drink again!
next day we were all hungover and went for a walk in the park and chilled the whole day
fly to sydney tomorrow, woooo!
