Hey all from a very cold Queenstown!!
Last night was more sedate than I had hoped, with a pleasant meal at Fishbones. Can you guess what they served? Followed by just a couple of beers and in bed by 10pm. Would you credit it?
I had a well deserved lie-in this morning, following my marathon driving exploits of the past week. After a nice lazy morning I brunched at an elegant café which seats around 30 people called Vudu for a latte (which you could have swum in it was that big), and eggs Benedict which I have to say was a gastronomic treat to say the least. Fully sated, I then went off to book my excursions for the next few days. I’m going to Milford Sound tomorrow, which is about a 12 hour trip. On Sunday its out to the Shotover river for a jetboat ride in the morning then a trip to Arrowtown in the afternoon.
Ideally I wanted to have a ride in the gondola up the mountain this afternoon but its been slightly blustery all day with snow flurries so it was closed. I did however go out on the Earnslaw which is a steamer ship dating back 95 years. You even get to look into the engine room with the blokes shovelling coal.
I got talking to a couple of Americans whilst having a snack about 4pm. They’ve been travelling for about 18 months and were quite interested in the British music scene. We talked for about an hour over a Fergburger and a can of diet Coke. Me and my crazy life eh? All in all a quiet uninteresting day, but I hope Ill have a bit more to bore you with soon. No update tomorrow as I’m out all day, so you can have it all on Sunday.
