I'm at the Glacier!!! Iain thank you for your advice but your too late, we've just paid for everything and got signal and now found t'internet!
so ths evening i'm going Kayaking to see sunset...although its low mist and wet just now, but not expensive and they take lots of photo's all included in price, then tomorrow as the weather wasn't as good we were going to reduce our 6hr hike to 4hr hike, but only on ice for 1.5hrs....and have to do the hardest part of climbing steps of ice that are like 2 foot tall, to climb back down, and tuyrns out they'd changed the price so the 6hr is the same price as teh full day so we decided to do the full day - dreading it just now as so sleepy today but in the full day one you climb through the ice and stuff which i owuldn't do in teh other ones, so just going to get on with it!
then we have a notheronight here - so excited to unpack and repack my bag and find clean clothes and pants, and get washing done - my white stuff is really dirty!
met up with a couple of crazy canadians from Kimberly who love me for knowing its in BC etc. so we were in a dorm with them last night and they're like 19 and so hyper all the time, and then in a 4 bed dorm with them and annette now.
other than that, most girls are in groups traveling and are harder to get chatting with, so we've gbecome great mates with a couple of the guys, an ozzie and english guys, who look out for us, but then are quite quick to ditch us when ANY signle girls get on our bus, as 90% of the girls have boyfriends! lol. so taht's cool.
We had our fancy dress party last night, i bought my beans and food bags and put beans in lots of food bags and made like a mini skirt of them over my white beach skirt, then just wore my bra and covered my chest in a beanbag bra, but the owner saw what i was going to use and told me not to even take them off the bus as he didn't want teh mess (he's a 87yr old man!) but the drivers told me to do it, so i did, andeveryone was impressed...but to win you had be naked...i wasn't prepared to do that, and besides it was for winning bnungee's and big swing rides...not my cup of tea, so our canadian won as they wore masking tape over pants and sports bra's, then as the wine hit them they decided they wanted to win bad so one went and cut her udnerwear off so she was officially naked....oh dear! maybe i'm justggeting old but i just watced and took lots of phot's, then Annette and i headed to bed about 11pm, wherewas the rest stayed up till 5am! never a good idea ona afull coach the next day!
The norweigen guys got a real dead pig's head and dressed in foil as vikings, then hid the pig in another one's bed, and as he drunkenly went to bed and foudn it he thought someone had been murdered and ran back to teh bar screaming murder! (we were in teh middle of nowhere ness!)
Ah dear, so yeah, we're here for a coupld nights, then another one night stop then to Queenstown. the only activity to do after tomorrow that is of any interest is bungee's and sky dives...and sicne i've done one....i never thoguht i'd say that anyway, i'm looking forward to not spending money! Especially since i can't check my bank balance. may need to be diligent and call the bank and ask for them to tell me it so i know where i stand, i'm fine, just want to know where i am!
Dad can you transfer my savings the next few days as it takes 5 days to transfer and i'm over to Oz a week and 2 days away! yipee!
Craig's officially on holiday now, he finished work the other day and is now in Perth, so is loving life again! he bumped into a girl from his class at uni in the pub his first night out!
don't think there's anythign else to tell really... so glad i did this though, was thinking to myself that even if i was with craig, i woudln't have done the sky dive guaranteed, and maybe not other stuff, as we'd be so money consious, and alhough i'm not being silly, i'm not drinking and eating $0.99 tea's but doing crazy activities and its so worth blowing my pennies for!
Am ready for company again though, so looking forward to getting to Oz and seeing all the boys.
Rigth, that's tonnes of writing, so i'm off.
Keep in touch, mum, did i tell you Lindaur is cheap here, its teh house cheap fizz they give you if its a laydee's ngiht and we get free champagne or whatever, and they do 200ml bottles in every bar, although when annette and i bought a big one for $7 - 3pounds before going out, it did taste a bit nasty! but the thought was tehre!
Hope you are all good and that Addy has caked your house in decoratiosn Iain - have you got santa's on the roof? He has to remember Kailyn! its' your duty as a dad to put a welcome sign up for him!
