Drinking

That sums up a large part of Queenstown life lol. The nightlife here is really good. Had a couple of big nights out with the people from the Kiwi bus and the standard route is this: drink in rooms/hallway, head down to altitude (the hostel bar) between 9 and 10 and drinks lots more, stumble over to 'the world bar' and attempt to get in. I have yet to be denied :D

So what else have I done here: indoor mini golf - really good fun and some crazy contraptions. Also saw a kiwi haka show after a gondola ride up. Really wouldn't want to face those Maori guys - they scare the shit out of me!

Today i went to Milford Sound. It was stunning! The waterfalls are probably the best part. We saw some bottle-nosed dolphins and seals too. The underwater observatory after the cruise recreated marine life from 2km deep, but it was actually only 30m deep. The explanation was pretty complicated but had something to do with it being a sheltered area and the mixing (or lack of mixing) or salt water and fresh water. A good day but the bus journey is pretty horrendous from QT. 4 hours each way, although it is pretty scenic.

Onto Christchurch tomorrow. 4 nights there, which is far too long I hear. But I don't really have a choice so nevermind. Will just chillout and try not to spend too much lol. Hopefully bump into the dubai guys, who taught me to say "ride my dick and spin on it" in arabic lol. Need to book a hostel for Sydney. Wake Up or not Wake Up, hmm....
