Day 18: 18/1/13
Today we could sleep in as we were staying in Queenstown for another night! Some people were doing Nevis bungies and swings this afternoon but I wasn't!
Myself and two others went for some breakfast in the morning and then I had to wash some clothes in the laundry as I was going to have no other underwear!!
Myself and another guy that wasn't jumping went up a gondola to a mountain over the town and bay. It was cable cars really - it was really steep and that alone was freaking me out!! He was doing some mountain biking down the mountain but I was able to take in all the views and stroll around! The ledge bungy was there too. I waited for ages to see if someone was going to jump but there was no sign! When Andrew came back from his mountain biking we went for another look and someone just jumped as we got there! It looked so scary!! You are jumping over trees and rocks, looking down over the town. The people that do these things are not well in the head!!
I left him doing some more mountain biking and went back down the cable car. Of course when I was on it on my own it stopped up and was swinging I mid air for a few minutes!! Lovely!!! Thankfully it started off again and I got down safely!
I went for a wander round the town then and bought a dress for tonight! It was only 20 dollars so happy out! I went back to the hostel and met up with Hazel and Andrew and we walked around the marina place which wa lovely. It's just a really, really pretty town and there's a lovely feel to it! It's like a ski town in Austria or something, or at least what I would imagine one to be!!
We went for a Fergburger then which seems to be the thing to eat here- there was a massive queue!! It was a huge burger but nice!! It was like two dinners worth in one burger! We had an hour or two to upload things and check in with Facebook again before heading off our again. Most of the group are leaving tomorrow and a few of us are here another night so it's sort of a farewell night!
We went down to the bar downstairs for a while and it was good fun- nothing major happened, just everyone dancing and stuff. We went to go to another bar then. One of the guys is real athletic and jumped up to hit a road sign. The Irish girl Niamh wanted to hit it too so people lifted her up to hit it but the sign or something on the pole split her hand open. I didn't see it but a group of us went to the hostel with her. A doctor appeared that had been on the road and seen her. He started talking about hand surgery, plastic surgery and tetnis shots. They needed a taxi to get her to hospital so I went out to get that. I must have been 20 minutes talking to a Brazilian taXi driver about his life history before the doctor let her out!
One girl went to the hospital with her but the rest of us went to the pub. We had a few drinks but still felt bad for her. After a while she came back! She had stitches but she was okay!!
Then some of the guys got in a fight over stealing drinks or something. The bouncers were cross but we of everyone back in. Then it was time to go home anyway but then the police appeared wanting to know why there was a fight. Talk about fecking drama!! Everyone got on okay anyway and there was no arrest or anything, but it was just a crap end to the night!!
