I got up and checked out at the same time as the kiwi experience lot as I was gate crashing their trip to Puzzling World. Naughty, yes. Discount, yes. Did I care, no! I met them there and spent a few hours just pissing about really. The weather wasn't that great so there wasn't much else to do! I then left them to it and set off back to Queenstown. I took a slow drive and actually enjoyed it. I went back over the Crown Range and stopped several times for pictures as I knew what to expect this time! Such a beautiful view. I carried on down the winding road and took a quick drive to Arrowtown on my way just coz I could. It was a one way system and I panicked so set the sat nav up to just take me to the hostel before I got lost! I found the car park and hostel etc then went for a walk to the lake front and round through the town. Bloody live this place. I can see why people who have been here said they love it so much. The weathers just turning so it feels wintery, but the sky is blue and the sun is out so it's all good. Shane and Krishma were on their way so I found a bar opposite the hostel and sat there with a mulled cider while I waited.
Only 3 more sleeps before I fly home. Time definitely waits for no one that's for sure. I'm ready to come home but really don't want to if that makes sense?! 2 nights in Queenstown and then one somewhere on the way to the airport. Moneys starting to run low too, so it's probably a good job it's home time really. Seriously need my roots doing too, it's disgraceful. Luckily, no one cares about that over here, no one judges you or makes you feel like you need to fit in. Such a nice break from all the crap of feeling like you need to look good at home. People over here just want to enjoy life, which is definitely the way it should be.
We checked into our hostel and then headed out for another walk round town. Damn it's cold. Everywhere has little fires going and it feels really wintery, almost as if the snow was here already. Definitely a ski town. But I bet it's lovely in summer too. There was a free BBQ at World Bar tonight so we headed over there and chatted to some of the others for a while. Then came back to the hostel to change before going back out into town. We went back to World Bar and got half price tea pots of cocktails. Pretty awesome. We played pool for a bit whilst getting drunk. We'd been given a free drink at 10pm voucher so we used that too. Pretty cheap night. After this we were slightly intoxicated (half a bottle of wine each at the hostel before we left) and headed to Altitude bar at Base hostel. Blagged some free shots here too. Free drink tastes so much better! Backpackers get some bloody cheap deals! We stayed here until the early hours, before going home via McDonalds! Talked to various random people and then headed back to the hostel. Lay in is on the cards for tomorrow........
