Pleasantly surprised by the weather on arrival in Queenstown, and also by our luxurious hostel (oh dear - we think hostels can be luxurious!) Our first night out involved a cultural mix of roomies, a Swiss, an American, a Brazilian and 4 Brits hit the hostel bar and were later introduced to the wonder of the fergburger - you just wouldnt know until you tried one! The Swiss man seemed pretty subdued but proved us wrong the next night where he woke us up at 2am to offer us his homemade vodka redbull which he promised us was happy happy!!! What a loon! We spent the following days exploring Queenstown, we ventured up the mountain on the gondola and came back down again on the dry toboggan run down the mountain, advanced routes all the way, we are so hardcore these days!! :) That night we MAY have indulged in wine by the bottle ( it is very cheap here!) and spent a fun night at the karaoke! Chilled out with our hangovers the next day at reggae in the park, and later buddied up with 2 new roomies - one of which was a 40 year old loon latter christened 'disco pete' as we still have no idea what is name was but man he had some moves on the floor! There were even push ups on the stage at one point - go pete..or whatever your name was! Steph also took part in a jeigerbomb record - messy but fun! Next day, Steph picked up a stray from the airport by the name of Tim, and the lovebirds were reunited after 3 months - needless to say Robyn left them well alone and partied on with our roomies! Zarkov the spaceship (our camper!) entered our lives shortly after Tims arrival, with bald tyres, no tent and a fridge failure - the fun was only just beginning!! After some brand new tyres for Zarkov, he sped us down to the Shotover River where we jetboated with some near misses in the canyons and some 360's - we loved it, but not sure the nana next to Robyn did! Well this is where our New Zealand adventure begins...2 girly girls, 1 manly boy and a bright orange camper called Zarkov, we are sure it will be one hell of a trip!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
