The next day we the weather was still no better so we head to Wanaka again on the way we saw more beautiful New Zealand and so in Wanaka we found a small hostel and in the evening we hang out with a few guys from the hostel it was a really lovely evening, we chatted and told traveller stories, drank beer, played poker and even went out to a local bar in Wanaka it was a Sunday night so it was just a quiet drink.
Tim rang up the Wanaka skydive guys and the weren't sure about the weather so we wait in Wanaka for the day, We went to puzzle world where they have a lot illusions and cool rooms (see photo's). We then tried the skydive people again but the weather was still rubbish. So we stayed one more night in Wanaka and because we like the hostel and because the was still a small chance we could skydive in Wanaka the next day. We met two Swedish girls named Hannah and Sara, they were really good fun to hang out with and so the four of us went out for a drink to the water bar on the sea front. Really good evening and really good conversation.
Next morning yet again we couldn't skydive, but we head the weather was good in Queenstown and we could skydive there that day. So we went to Queenstown booked ourselves in to the X base hostel and went to go met the bus to take us to the skydiving airport. Met an america that understood sarcasm (they do exist) . We got to the skydive base and got suited up and well the rest is you can work out. We jump from 12000ft and it was amazing the scenery and the adreneline was just fantastic (pictures below). We headed back to the X base and then went out for celebratery fergburger ( world famous burger from New Zealand) drinks and had an amazing night out. Went to one club called World bar was awesome and lots of people and plenty of dancing, then we sort of split up after that me and Roelof headed to a few more bars and met some really awesome people and was a really good night out.
Next morning we recovered from our exploits the night before and all enjoyed a lazy day in queenstown. Had a late breakfast at KFC and then I went for a coffee by the lake and decided to read my book and get a coffee whilst the other decided to look for another hostel because the X base was a bit rubbish. We had booked two nights in the X base and so we stayed there one more night. Again that night me and Roelof went out on the town and we met Madeleina from Germany she turned out to be pretty awesome really good fun and conversation and so Roelof left and so we chatted for a while and like a true British gent I walk her back to the hostel! Then I headed back to the x base.
Next morning we decided to do a day trip to Milford Sounds. It was a early start and we it was truely awesome place. New Zealand has keep surprising me in terms of the scenery it feels like every corner you turn there is something different and its just majestic! So the whole day was just full of banter and awesome views. We went back to Queenstown and stayed at a different hostel in fact it was the same hostel as Madeleina and we all hung out and at the hostel and met some more really awesome people. The swedish girls were in Queenstown as well so the four of us went out on the town with them and went to a few bars.
We decided to stay one more night in that hostel as it was so much fun in Queenstown. We had another lazy morning, well i didn't i went for a run and then went and read my book at the hostel and just relaxed. The evening was hilarious and we were sat around the tables outside the hostel chatting to a few people from the hostel, there must have been about 10 germans (including madeleina), 5 brit (although one was scottish and i don't know if he wants to be included with that! Ha), 2 kiwi and 2 dutchy! It was just such good banter and we made so many jokes (mainly mocking each others countries) and don't mention the war impressions. Again we all went out on the town as there we a load of end of the World parties (end of the world crap to be honest) happening so if you went to World bar and said ding dong merrily on high you got a free drink because they had put a thousand buck behind the bar. We got there to late, but we had a really awesome night and was really good laugh.
So the past few day I have met some really awesome people and have enjoyed the banter, the laughter, the scenery and just all of it.
God bless you all and Merry Christmas
