What is Deb up to?

I’ve put photos in the relevant sections. It takes so long to do sometimes!
At least now you can see how restrained I was with the photos of trees. I had a choice of at least 30 tree-related pictures to choose from.

Its the day before new years day in Queenstown and it’s getting really busy. There is a big cricket match here tomorrow between Sri lanka and the NZ black caps. It is a small town and I am sure I have seen a few of the players wandering around.

Christmas day was good, the hostel owners bought 4 bottles of vodka which we made into punch, we needed extra vodka which we got from a bar owner who happened to be walking past and got us some from his bar. We made it last most of the day. A boy arrived halfway through the day and put his tent up to dry which produced something of a festival mood. Eventually everyone was sitting (in the car park) around the tent and there was a guitar and singing and stuff. Nice.

Few days ago I went ‘to look at’ the bungee with some friends I’d made at the hostel. We decided to do the jump seeing as we were there. It was a really good day, (mostly because the bungee had been completed). We went to a place called Arrowtown for lunch and walked along the river, then went to an old cinema to see King Kong.

Did some more horseriding yesterday, feeling a little saddle-sore (I can barely walk). They decided to give me a crazy horse (again) which liked to attack other horses at random, and my stirrup snapped off whilst cantering so it was a challenging day. I didn’t have much time to pretend I was a Rider of Rohan…. Other than that I’ve been trying to do activities that don’t cost too much so been doing a lot of walking. Got a little bit lost the other day on a mountain but it was good fun. I figured as long as I was going DOWNHILL i couldn’t get into too much trouble. The views were amazing. Queenstown is growing fast so I wonder how long it will stay beautiful…
