Holiday Day Sixteen - Queenstown Day Two

July 07, 2011

Rise 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

walked all the way to Skyline and they told us that the gondola and luge ride is closed due to the horrible weather. It may open later in the evening. Huhu. Disappointment.

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

someone actually came and asked what we are doing there. Probably they scared we're gonna steal their sheep.

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.
263749_10150238630132239_568062238_7335263_1546895_n

268519_10150238630202239_568062238_7335265_1253098_n
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.

  4. Hey 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! :)
