As our ‘Shotover Jet’ ride was cancelled yesterday due to bad weather it was scheduled again for today at 11am…..however more extremely cold temps meant that they again would not be running the boats so we cancelled and decieded to have a relaxing day in QT instead.

First stop was lunch at ‘Speight’s Ale House’, a flashy pub with from what I was told “excellent food” and great beer.

I didn’t eat because I was feeling a little crappy because it turns out that Damo snores just as much as Matt does and I got zero sleep, I moved upstairs onto the couch at like 2am but an hour or so later woke up with an excuciating pain in my back, took me quite some time to actually get tired enough so that I could head back downstairs and ignore the snoring.

After lunch we managed to find a cheap place that could do all our gear and clothing hire as well as ski passes and bus tickets so not only did we save money we got everything from the one place.

Anyhow after we got all our gear we split up; Em, Matt & Bryce deceided to go ice skating and Damo and I went off for a drive around town.  I was feeling better around 2pm and got me some good ol english style ‘fish n chips’ from a place in town….and I tell you it tasted great.

Later in the arvo once we were all back home the drinking stated again {we had a lot of Duty Free to get through } and went for Pizza and Pool at a place in town. Damo wanted to stay back, have a shower and a few more drinks so I stuck around…anyway we headed off about half an hour later and then couldn’t get in touch with the others and spent ages walking around town before eventually finding the little place tucked in the back of a alleyway.

Some food and quite a few local NZ “drinks” later and we were all smashed and at a Kareoke bar watching Damo and Matt take home prize after prize.

I decieded to head home because I wasn’t feeling to well and ended up throwing up….prolly drank too much again :-S
