A night on the Teapots!!
I've never seen such low clouds before, we arrived at Lake Matheson from Franz Joseph and couldn't even get to see Mount Cook due to it being covered from top to almost bottom in cloud! The lake however, was beautiful as was the back drop despite the clouds it was stunning! Google it people! The clouds were on the move and soon so were we, it was a …
Amazing journey
I woke up at 7.30, had breakfast, checked out and made my way to the bus stop. The bus journey is around 8 hours but it is absolutely stunning. I am not sure if I would put it on a par with the road to Kathmandu but I absolutely loved it.
The first part of the journey is fairly normal as you simply drive out of Christchurch and then …
No Skydive today :-(
Today the plan was to go skydiving so I got up at 8.30am and headed straight to reception to call NZskydive and find out what the situation. I was informed the day before they had not jumped for the 4 days but seeing the weather I was hopeful.
The lady made the call and unfortunately it was apparently too windy for them to jump so they …

Approaching the 'Adventure Central' that is Queenstown, we got some good views …

Good facilities, beds are too soft for 2 people to sleep in but each room has a single so couples have the option of sleeping in 2 beds. Great service from the reception people and a fantastic common area for all the lodge residents to use - greaat if you are in a group of 8 or more

Just on the edge on town (5 minutes walk) this ski lodge has a great layout with individual blocks having anywhere from 2-6 bedrooms with a kitchen and living room in each. It's nothing spectacular but the price is good and the place is clean and has all the facilities you need.
