Mind over Matter
Friday, January 9th, 2009I have been in Queenstown now for 3 days and all the adventure that this town offers is a lot of mind over matter. This next statement will make my mother feel a lot better. I will not/can not bungy. I was at the site but never got the guts to get on the tower and do it. I watched others but it is not happening for me. Sometimes you just have to do what interests you and so instead of bungy I spent the day yesterday at a golf course in the morning (shot a 90) and a wine tour in the afternoon. One thing i did learn is that you are not supposed to cheer during a lawn bowling match, the old men got a little grumpy at me. We are thinking about creating a new game that will be full contact.
I am saving the skydive for Taupo and will now dive with Philly at the end of February. I am totally looking forward to this and it has been hard to wait. I am sure i will find a lot of things to do inbetween then and now.
It has been raining all day today and so our hike was cancelled and it has been a pretty quiet day but I was able to catch up on a lot of things that needed to be done including laundry. I will leave Queenstown tomorrow and head for the deep south of NZ. Will be at Milford Sound during the day and then staying in a town called Te Anau for 3 nights. After we head towards Stewart island and what is supposed to be the best fishing in NZ.
I hope everyone is evjoying themselves in whatever this world is bringing them. The big announcement that should have been at the start of this blog is that i am an UNCLE again. My brother Greg had a baby boy (Nicholas) on Dec. 31st. Yeah Baby!!!
Take care all,
Steve
