Queenstown Free Day

Waking up this morning I had to get in the queue for the one bathroom/toilet shared between at least 14 people!

I had breakfast and checked out and got a taxi down to the YHA. I left my stuff in storage and went to explore Queenstown!

I visited the information centre and found out about some activities. There are so many, and so expensive! I really wanted to do a Lord of the Rings tour but they are really expensive and I couldn't justify the cost when there is so much else to do!

I found a really good tour with Dart River Safaris who take you jet boating, then on inflatable canoes and you have lunch as well. I also found out about para gliding.

Whilst deciding what to do I walked around the shops and bought an ice breaker jacket, this was really expensive but the clothes are amazing!

I then made my mind up to do the Dart River Safaris and went back to book it!

I then went and checked into the YHA and got my room sorted etc! I walked down to the beach for a wee while where I buped into a few people from yesterdays bus. We sat on the beach for a while it was really hot so I was trying to top up my tan! Some of the guys went for a dip but the lake was freezing!

I then went and got some dinner - I ended up getting chinese takeaway and eating down in the park next to the wharf. I ran into the Yorkshire lasses and we sat and chatted for a bit!

I was still feeling funny from being ill so I headed back to the hostel for yet another early night! Plus the fact I had to be up and at em for the safari tomorrow! I did get chatting to the girls in the dorm, one of whom had done a skydive today so we were looking at her photos and they show movies in the rooms at 9 - it was lord of the rings! So we watched some of that as well!
