it's 11.20pm and we are bored of the club next door. the music is crap too. so we thought we'd come on here and tell you what we have been doing the last few days.
so since our last post we have been spending a lot of time with some people we met on the bus... oki, davina, holly and alan. we went to the cinema with a few people to see 'volver' a spanish film with penelope cruz in, which was really good. the cinema we went to was in wanaka and it was very small and everyone sat on sofas and there was an interval where you could buy freshly made food. we had a chocolate cookie which was straight out of the oven and still warm. mmm.
this is oki, holly and davina at the cinema, and greg in a beatle... which you could also sit in at the cinema.
on our last day in wanaka we went for a walk around the lake. it was really beautiful and a nice sunny day.
jack, greg has been putting in some practice on his gymnastics.
on our way to queenstown we stopped off at a place called puzzling world. which was okay but we got a few funny pictures.
queenstown is a really cool place. there is a lovely big lake and the town itself is a lot nicer than we expected. it has a reputation as a party town, but it's not too in your face, a lot of people stay here a while so we have had chance to catch up with some people we have met along the way.
greg got the chance to play football with some of the lads from the bus we'd been with for a week or so, it was nice to see them all again. other than that we have just been chilling out by the lake.
today we went to milford sound, which is meant to be one of the most beautiful places in new zealand. from queenstown it was a 4 hour coach ride there. but luckily oki and alan were on our bus to keep us amused. it rained for the first time in 5 weeks and there was a lot of low cloud, so milford sound itself wasn't as good as it could have been. but it also meant that the waterfalls were very spectacular. the drive into milford was amazing.
we bought some lovely plastic poncho's to prepare ourselves for a very wet boat ride, and they provided us with a lot of fun. it was so windy we were getting blown all over the place. we have a couple of pictures of it but oki has some really funny ones (he's going to put them on facebook for us). it was really good to spend the day with oki and alan especially as we've been on the same bus for a while so have got to know them quite well.
we have got more pictures of milford sound but we can't rotate them, so again you'll have to wait.
tonight we went out for a drink, but like we said, got a bit bored. on thursday we will hopefully move on to lake tekapo for a couple of nights then onto christchurch.
it's only a couple of weeks now til we head back home. we're both really excited and can't wait to see you all. x x x

it all looks great, I'm afraid Marple is a bit dull by comparison. but I have found out where you are on Google Maps. on Friday we are off to see Arcade Fire!
