Queenstown & Pictures

Today I made it to Queenstown, barely. I overslept and just barely made my bus, I had to run out in pjs and ask them to wait! The bus was supposed to pick me up at my hostel (thank god because I could not do that walk again, especially at 6:30 in the morning!) Then I grabbed my stuff (thank GOD I packed the night before!) and hopped on the bus, still in pjs, all the way to Queenstown, 8 hours. I'm back at a YHA, mainly because I didn't like the looks of any other place in Queenstown, and I knew at least the YHA would be clean and relatively close to town. Now I have showered, put on real clothes, and feel much better. I wanted to post some photos and a video of the whale watch I did in Kaikoura, so I'm just doing it in this post because I'm too lazy to go back and edit an old one.

Christchurch was great, I really liked it. I've found that I really like all the cities in New Zealand, I think partially because none of them are too big. Even the big cities really aren't. I still can't decide if I want to bungy or not... I'm leaning towards no. I just think I'd be able to step off the platform! I couldn't even walk over the glass at the SkyTower in Auckland. Oh well, we'll see. After here, I'm off the Te Anau to see the fiords and Milford Sound, then it's back through Queenstown on the way to Fran Joseph Glacier, then it will be time to find work for a bit, either a hostel or wwoofing. A really great hostel in Picton was hiring but I was headed in the opposite direction. The manager told me to touch base with her again though when I make my way back up so we'll see! Anyway it's great to know you guys are following me and I love the feedback!!
