Last days in NZ!!
Did some camping in town here. Weather left a lot to be desired but did manage to meet some really cool folks at the campground and another couple in the bar next to Minus 5. As you might have guessed it is basically a walk in freezer where everything is made out of ice. They give you cool looking warm parkas and you get a 45 mins in drinking from your ice glasses.
Some VERY drunk Japanese tourists! Danced with them and had a series of photos taken. The barmaid couldn't believe it !
Had a blast with the two couples we met and managed to sneak in a few tequilas!
One day we were there we went to the top of the mountain and rode the LUGE....so cool. A cement track (2 actually) where you ride a little cart down....what fun. Lisa was laughing so loudly, she loved it!! (Excuse me but it was the coolist thing - took off over the double bumps and turned into a speed freak)
