Marty's Adventures
Today I decided to explore Queenstown....I took a walk all along the lake out of town, wow, so beautiful....the weather has been nice....I still need to wear a sweater but it isn't raining!! The forecast has threatened every day to rain but thankfully none. I wondered through the town centre checking out the shops. I thought I would look for a pair of pants seeing as I have many pairs of shorts and one pair of pants and jeans.... I found the exact pair of North Face Zip off pants that I bought for $59.00 at home and there were $179.00!!!! I promptly walked out and will wear these pants every day if need be! They are quick dry so can wash them at night! Things are expensive!! Just saying! The other thing I have noticed is that Queenstown is Adventure Central.....there are soooooo many adventures you could do a different one every day for a month and still not of done them all....they also charge crazy prices and people pay! So in trying to find something not so expensive to do today, I took a ride up the Gondola....they had a special on a gondola plus luge rides so I figured I would have some fun....the gondola ride was great, the views from the top were amazing....I did the luge ride a few times....was like a big kid....there were screams and squeals.....fun fun!! I hiked around and sat and just chilled out taking it all in.....I made my way back to the hostel and dropped off my pack. I headed back into town and had an amazing dinner at an Indian restaurant.....back to the hostel and sat on the deck for the evening having chats with random people as they came and went.... Tomorrow I pick up my Jucy Cabana....which I believe is much the same as what I had before, I am hoping to get to Fox Glacier tomorrow evening.....
