Queenstown Again!

Well after a late night last night I had a very nice lie in! Most of the dorm were up and gone so I had a very long shower in the ensuite and went for breakfast! It was about 1.00 by the time I walked out the hostel!

I headed to Info and Track where I booked onto the Earnslaw a steamship that does cruises of the lake and I also booked myself onto a paraglide tomorrow!

So after a very nice subway sandwich I headed down to the wharf and boarded the steamship. It's really nice, you can look down from the main deck into the engine room and see the engines working. They let you walk through as well! They have a small museum about the history of the boat at the front of the boat. I sat up the front outside on the deck out to the Walter Peak farm. There was a commentary provided by the captain and many people got off at the farm but this cost extra so my ticket was only for the cruise!

On the way back they had a bloke doing a sing along on the piano at the back of the boat so I went and joined in! It was really good fun and they give you little song books as well! I asked for the song Loch Lomond which was really nice and at the end we sang Jingle Bells!

That evening I was doing my washing when I met two irish girls who had juat arrived from Fiji. We got chatting and ended up going to Fergburger for dinner! After this we went for a walk on the beach and went and looked in this lovely kids clothing shop (one of their mates has just had a baby) and I ended up buying a door sign for myself!

I had booked a ticket for the cinema earlier for Narnia. I left the girls and went to queue. Before I got to the cinema I walked past Winnies and they were giving away free pizza slices!

I really enjoyed Narnia, a lot of people have said to me since that they didn't rate it much, but hey I liked it!

On the way back from the cinema there was a little band playing outside near the beach and people dancing! I watched for a bit but it started spitting with rain so I headed back to the hostel!
