More of Queenstown














2nd June

Sinead and I took our last stroll down to the lake and sawe soo many houses that we would like to buy! Saw the sunset on the lake.

3rd June

Sinead departs to meet Seb in Hastings while I stay in Queenstown.

We went out and in one of the bars there was a competition to win a free horse trek woth 180dollars. i thought I would give it a go as it was a simple game of heads and tails. I dont know how as I never win things managed to win and get the free horseride.

4th June

Yet another fairly lazy day, but i did manage to make a bracelet from the bead SHOP to add to my collection. A group of us also rented some kyacks and went out on the lake. I wanted to take pictures so i went in a double kyack with Dom as the man power. The others just got singles. though it was a race back to the shore so I put the camera away and we won the race so ddint have to make everyone a cup of tea!
Yummy sausage and mash for dinner!!

5th June

I went on my horse trek and on the way to the stables passed places that were filmed in the lord of the rings film. We all got allocated horses according to our ability, me a beginner got a really friendly horse called Riley. The scenery was amazing with snowy mountains and the river which in parts we had to cross. This was actually quite challenging as the water nearly touched our feet and we had to keep the horse follwing the correct track. As the leader thought we were all doing really well we went on a gallop and then a canter which was really really fun, though my legs and bum are feeling it now!

I am feeling the travelling anger now as all my food was chucked out of the fridge becuase the label must have fallen off! However it was still clearly marked with my name in marker pen. grrrrrrrr my sausages and mash that I made the previous day has all gone!!! :'( Though to make myself feel better I bought my last ferg burger with the guys.

  1. Horse trekking looks really cool!! Sad I never did that when I was there - we went white water rafting and skydiving instead. I hate it when food is chucked - I lost an entire jar of honey when I went to Fraser!! Gutted!! xxx
