Arrival

Leaving a dramatic, sexy, fun, romantic, sad ,heart beating out of a movie airport scene on the 29th of November to finally arrive in Queenstown on the 2 of December. With out a plan I set straight out for the MacDonalds off the bus. " no not bc I am hungry bc I need wifi" just in case you wanted to know-with in 20 min of being in queenstown someone gave me his contact details, he was decently good looking but I was on a mission to find a place to live and not flirt with him. ( I can't settle for decently good looking I need very lickable)
Couchsurfing ( best thing for a traveler) pulled threw for me and with in an hour I found a host to stay with and it just so worked out that he had an amazing house and a flatmate was leaving in 3 days and the room could be mine. I live with 6 people with the hardest names ha 2 Italians guys who I could listen to talk all day they have that very strong typical Italian accent. A man from holland, USA, nz, and a uk girl.
The first day was great, hit on, found place to live, set up phone, got my bearings of the town, and a bed to sleep in.
Day two I woke to watch the sunrise and do my hike. Was a gorgeous day. Came home after hike and watched a movie with the roomies but I fell asleep in first 3 min
Day 3 set out on little road trip to do the Kepler track ( google that). I departed with 3 others the USA flat mate, and 2 CS traveling in nz a nice German girl and a sheep lover hong konger. The hike was beautiful with a great view and a awsome cave ( yay for headlight) but two full on days of about a total of 16-18 hours of hiking up and down I was beat and my feet were as well. This is sarcastic that night I got a wonderful night sleep where I slept on the ground for free with no blankets no pillows, which is why I am currently up and shivering at 530am writing my first blog entry. - the others had there sleeping bags and mats I must invest in more hiking gear.

  3. Awesome!! to hear that things are going well. Dam... Don't you wish you hooked up with a Lickable Boyscout before you set off on these World Treks!! First Lessons are the hardest to Learn.
    Boy Scout Moto... Always Be Prepared!!! Sleeping Bags are the First and For Most Important thing to have, Dry Feet with Good Hiking Boots that are Broken In first are Always Good too.
