Franz Josef to Queenstown Drive

---

Another long drive, another 8 hours and it was pissing down even more than yesterday. We arrived in Queenstown around 4pm and it was stunning, the place is beautiful, surrounded by mountains and pine tree covered hills, it's picture postcard material, the town itself is a wee bit over comercialized and plays it's adrenalin hardcore tag a bit heavy, this is where the bugy was born and these days you can pretty much jump of anything with the help of a wee bit elastic, we'll leave that to the English and wander through town.

We check into our lodge, kind of like a holiday park thing, and we're sharing a 3 bedroom house with a young English couple and a German family, mum, dad and a son that looks about 23, very bizarre, things seem to be going alright between us all though and am sure we'll get through the next couple of days as long as no one mentions the war, I almost did but I think I got away with it....... I got sent to the shops with $20 for dinner and came back with a chicken, a bottle of red, some stubbies, and 20c change. now that's ASDA price.
