Transportation

We left the wonderful town of Queenstown today and did a 5 hour drive to Methven, a tiny little village at the foot of Mount Hutt - the place for SNOWBOARDING!

I'm getting a few comments (maw & paw) about injuries and worries - stop worrying! I'm not going to do anything stupid, and I'll keep my board firmly on the ground - I promise. Plus maw, I bought some cheap bumper shorts today so I'll be very safe!! No more pessimistic comments!

We went luging yesterday which was quite fun. Basically just a littl go kart that goes down the mountain. I also found a little shop yesterday that sells IRN-BRU!!! But I didn't buy any as I'm addicted to Sprite these days.

So me and Jane are going boarding tomorrow but I don't think the rest of the group are as they have even less money than us. We're staying in a little hostel for the next two nights, and they have free WiFi access - the first place in the whole of New Zealand with free internet - it's great! Tomorrow I'll upload some photos (I can't be bothered doing it tonight)

We're only an hour away from Christchurch so luckily after boarding we've got a short drive to the city, then we'll fly off to Melbourne on Sunday. I'm quite sad to be leaving New Zealand - it's one of the most beautiful countries I've ever been. The scenery is spectacular - and I'm also proud to say we drove through another area of where Lord Of The Rings got filmed today!

OK.. Bed time and an early start!

God Bless xx
