Holiday Day Sixteen - Queenstown Day Two
July 07, 2011Rise and shine ! Well it didn't exactly shine because the weather was HORRIBLE ! Woke up around 8.30am and we are on the way to Gondola and Luge Ride ! It couldn't stop raining ! My boots are wet and my Kathmandu is soaked ! We can't really use umbrella because the wind was strong and you wouldn't want your umbrella to turn upside down =P
Next, my boots base came off. So everyone have to follow me to the shoe repair shop at Queenstown Mall. They then went for lunch, some shopping for souvenir while boyfriend and Elsa waited with me in the shoe repair shop.
It was $25.00 to stick the base back. I thought it was okay because it'll cost at least $100.00 if I want to get a pair of new boots on the spot and by looking at the fact of my shoe size, it's even harder to find.
interesting eh? Try reading word by word.
After my shoe was repaired and the gondola still closed, we went to Arrowtown :D
Hate the rain >:(
it's sorta like a cowboy town
super cold !
It's cold because we are wet !
so cold I wouldn't wanna take out my gloves ! Resist !

Then they had lunch at Arrow Thai Food. Boyfriend and I didn't eat because we had McD for breakfast at Queenstown Mall while repairing my boots just now.
so cold !
group picture of us
my camera lens fogged up
on the way back, we decided to stopped one side and take picture of the scenary
so beautiful ! It started snowing today ! We came Queenstown at the right time ! Before that they were afraid that it wouldn't snow then those people can't snowboard.
ice ! damn slippery lor.
so nice lah this scenary. I thought I would never see it in my life.
breathtaking
To prove that I'm here :D
behind the scene LOL
leg warmer from Uniqlo :)
can you see my foot print? The ice melted
the mountains behind are so beautiful
SO NICE BUT SO COLD ONE !
I can't remember how many times I said this but I'm gonna say it again. The floor is VERY slippery.
I wonder how does sheep survived? They ran away when they saw us T_T
my earmuff from Factorie
someone actually came and asked what we are doing there. Probably they scared we're gonna steal their sheep.
love this picture
edited from Graham's camera
LOVE LOVE this picture !
looks like icing on my cake LOL
boyfriend and I
boyfriend was like no mood at all because it was too cold
We then went to Gondola to try our luck again. YAY they opened !
the Gondola and Luge ride ticket
what we are going to do
it was raining so we can't really see the view
So wet and cold. Can get sick easily wey.
reached the top of Gondola
Luckily there's heater and firewood.
So nice :)
there's where we're gonna take chairlift up for Luge ride
trust me, it's SUPER COLD
view from up here is actually quite nice
After watching the "Frozen" movie, I was terrified to sit chairlift.
I was like "NOOOOOOOOO" to boyfriend.
I'm gonna close my eyes and hug boyfriend huhu
smile :)
the mountain behind really looks like icing on my cake LOL That's cause my birthday is on Christmas Eve so my birthday cake is ALWAYS has Christmas tree, logs and etc =P
have to walk like "xiao jie" because the floor damn slippery.
can you spot me? boyfriend was helping me to wear the helmet
group picture of us going queuing for Luge rides !
the luge ride track
hehe
IT THEN STARTED SNOWING ! Not sure if you can see because it's not heavy snow. But I'm so excited because it's the first time in my life seeing snow !
Luge ride was so hard for me to play. I only went up for 1 ride but I bought 3 luge rides. So I sell 1 to Devind and 1 to boyfriend (because he lost his luge ride tickets) =____=
OMG IT'S SNOWING :)
stand
I wouldn't wanna Sky Swing in this cold weather
made Snowman !
everyone played at least 2 times and the girls would sell to the guys. It damn hard to play the luge ride lor. I am not strong enough to pull the breaks.
snowman with hat
the place where I waited in the cold for all of them T_T
the snow was getting heavier
After Gondola and Luge rides, we all went back for dinner. We quickly took a warm shower so that we wouldn't get cold.
My camera lens fogged up again. Anyway Indomie for dinner :D
Mine is the Hello Kitty polaroid camera and Candy's is the black one. The black one is more pro than mine. It has self-timer too !
It's such a tiring day today. We all girls were on bed by 8.30pm LOL Those guys were up and took a walk outside. We're going to leave Queenstown to Wanaka tomorrow ! I can't wait for it because they say Wanaka is so much more beautiful than Queenstown. Queenstown may be suitable for activities but Wanaka is where you relax and enjoy scenary.

ReplyDeleteAwwww, your post made me wanna go Queenstown one day but then it's too cold if I wanna go during this time of the year but I wanna experience snow too!

the mountain scenes are gorgeous
ReplyDeleteHey Likee, Sarah aka Xiao Ying here. Love the beautiful mountain scenery. Breath-taking! One thing to note though, some time ago Indomie was banned in Taiwan for some cancer-causing content in its soy sauce seasoning. But Malaysia Health Ministry said it is safe to eat. Hmm... Dunno can harap or not. But anyway, try to avoid eating Indomie, just in case... Take care in NZ! Send my regards to Brynn too! :)
ReplyDelete>Hilda: You should visit Queenstown if you do come to NZ ! It's like a must ! :D Nah it'll be alright if you wear thick coat :) Working on my next post hehe
