Queenstown baby!!!!
arrived in Queenstown yesterday evening after an 8 hour bus ride!!!
The night before i left for Queenstown Kylie,Liam,Keane and myself went to The Lone Star for dinner...waooow the food was fab...yum yum
So back to this bus rider...8 FECKIN HOURS!!!...but the views were breathtaking...my photos do not do it justice...a couple of times i found myself looking up and staring out the window my mouth wide open in shock at how beautiful the views were.esp at Lake Tykapo(not sure of the spelling)...just the colour of the water alone was amazing...a kind of milky green...like water from a hotspring...
i arrived in Queenstown around 7 and it was FREEZING...lucky id bought a big warm coat in the op shop and a pair of boots...i got into my hostel called BASE and checked in...to say i miss my old hostel "The Ritz" is a bit of an understatement...the room is tiny and packed to the brim...and smelly...was kept awake all night with people snoring...im used to ollie snoring...but never actually been woken up by someone b4...
so i booked my snowboard lessons and my swing...
went snowboarding today...got the bus at 9am to Coronet Peak...id hired all my ski gear the night b4... so got up the mountain and met my instructor Mike....a group of us went to the "magic carpet" slope for beginners....so we spent the next 2 hours tryin to stay up on the board and do a few turns...god...i was useless at it....i faceplanted a few times....did a few superman impressions...and skidded down the hill on my arse and side....just about managed to stay up on the board while a photographer took a pic of me...which i had to buy cause i had noone with me to take pics of me while i fell over and stuff and i wanted one that made i look like i could actually snowboard...its NOT easy....i used muscles today that i didnt even know i had...and tommorrow il feel them even more!
so i got the bus back and returned my gear....
Tomorrow...THE SWING!!!!...then meeting up with a couple of lads i met on the plane to sydney before i get the bus at 9am back to Christchurch...another 8 hours
