Another day in Queenstown

---

Hello everyone

Right not a whole lot to report other than this... the FERGBURGER has to be the best burger any carnivore could ever ask for. its double of everything, the burger is huge and well... WELL WORTH IT. Lets just say we were content after it. mmm...

We spent a good portion of the day just chilling, skipping stones again at the lake front... so peaceful. People go to the lakefront and lie down and fall asleep, its like the norm here. People leaning against trees and reading their book in peace, others strolling along the beachfront and others having a nap. Its so laid back, like South Africa but without the crime. Cars arent locked, houses arent locked either... its really relaxing. I know I have said it so many times but its hard to explain.

We are going to be looking at the Ford Laser today, 1983... nice and old. Its strange here, the MOT equivelant is whats known as the WOF however this is required every 6 months as opposed to every 12 months. Then there is the road tax, cheap but needs to be kept updated. And this one I cant get my head around... insurance isnt required by law... its an option. I mean who makes something like insurance an option?

Anyway the rest of the day is going to be spent exploring the local area, relaxing some more, doing nothing really, just kicking back and enjoying it. We did spoil ourselves today with some bangers and mash... tasted very processed to me however Ross enjoyed it. I guess thats the most important thing. I personally cant wait to try the local foods.

Oh yes, opened a bank account today, will be collecting our cards on Thursday... getting ourselves there, the New Zealand equivelant of the NI number in the UK is in the works and we should see those in about 2 weeks. Less tax when we get a job I guess. Things planned... skiing, bungee jumping, canyon swinging, and a few other stupidly insane death defying activities. Hope I survive with poo free undies. ha ha ha ha ha

Anyway catch up with you all soon

Right Sharon, your shortened version :o)
