Queenstown. Yeah. It's beautiful. Really beautiful.
Hello everybody. We two have broken our bond and are now living our different adventures, so this is just me Kt. I arrived here in Queenstown yesterday evening and for the first time as we were driving in, the scenery brought tears to my eyes. It's so beautiful (at one point it almost looked like the scene when Sam and Frodo are leaving the Shire - you know Sal, my favourite scene, so no wonder i was emotional). The pictures I have taken in no way convey how amazing it is (as you few will know who have been here). Anyhoo, after alighting from the coach i made my way to the black sheep hostel, where I knew our previous acquaintance Emma to be residing, and after dropping my stuff we headed into town (only 2 mins away) for a brief wander around before grabbing something to eat (lamb again for me!!). We had an early night as we were up earlyish this morning to have another walk this am before Emma had to make her way to work. Over breakfast (kindly provided by the hostel) we met a Canadian girl called Theadra (everytime i come to spell it i forget how to, so apologies, i'll have to correct myself later probably) who joined us on our walk, and after I acquired more winter clothing (it's rather cold here) we made our way to the top of the hill overlooking Queenstown and the Lake (photo above). It was a tad breezy but well worth the hike. We looked around a bit, and then wandered down again, for what else could we do? (suggestions on a postcard). And that's pretty much me up to date. Myself, Emma, Theadra, and two other guys from our room (Jim and Kevin) have just popped into town for a drink so i'm off presently to rejoin them (it's happy hour soon!!). I shall therefore bid thee all a fond farewell. Kt. xx
P.S. I would like to apologise for all the brackets.
P.P.S. To Elsies Mum, you could perhaps send a package Poste Restante here to the Queenstown Post Office and Sal can pick it up when she gets here (I would think we'll be here long enough to get it). I think you just label it Poste Restante, Main Post Office, Queenstown, South Island, NZ. Hope that may be of some use. xx
P.P.P.S Barnacle looks ace in the shades - happy birthday!! (he also looks a lot thinner - has he been working out?!!) xx

Success has gone to my head - glad you have found such a nice place to settle for a while. Hope the hostel lives up to the scenery.

Aha! Now my identity can remain a secret and I shall comment in many different exciting personnas! Queenstown certainly looks heavenly. It's raining here. But where am I? And who am I? I'm suffering an identity crisis all of a sudden! M'Lady UnoBrow xx

Katie, I hope you have chosen your new cold weather clothing wisely. Rumour has it that Kiwi men are often strangely affected by attractive woolly jumpers - especially if they can catch them!!
Baaa humbug!!
