ok so yer we are in queens town and it is really nice the sun is shining ( i have a bit of a tan and that is not like me at all)The place is full of brits most of them working and living here! every where you go be it eating, drinking, jet boating you will be served by a brit! But we are staying in a really nice motel (run by kiwis btw not brits ha ha ha )and it opened the day we got here so we could not ask for it to be newer or cleaner! so yesterday (when we got here) we just had a wonder around looked at the shops and at the attractions you can do like jet boating, parasailing, bungy jumping (no thank you), sky diving etc etc. we then had a nice meal in a sea food restaurant which was nice and then strolled all the way back up the hill to are motel to sleep arrrrrr.
Today! it's waitangi day which is a New Zealand Bank Holiday!
from wiki!
Waitangi Day is a significant day in the history of New Zealand. It is a public holiday held each year on 6 February to celebrate the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand's founding document, on that date in 1840. The Treaty made New Zealand a part of the British Empire, guaranteed Māori rights to their land and gave Māori the rights of British citizens.
So there you go that is a bit of information for you all (see you do learn something every day!) and my dad and i decided to do some trilling stuff today! We started off with a cable car up to the top or a mountain where we did Luging! it is a bit like a sledge you can steer of dry land! that was fun! then we had some lunch in a irish pub (to be sure, to be sure) and then dad and I booked into 1 hour of jet boating which was really fun BUT at the start they asked me if i would like to wear a rain mac because of the spray back i said NO I WON'T GET WET! and they sat me right at the back in the corner which you get soaked in! ha ha ha was great fun tho!
we are now back in the room just having a rest before we go into town again for some nice food and drink YUM!
then tomorrow Dunedin another big town! bring it on!
