Dave & Margs' Travels

We had a long drive from Franz Josef to Queenstown, a couple of food stops and waterfalls etc on the way. Dave and I went to PuzzleWorld which had a room full of faces that appeared to turn their heads and follow you as you moved round the room, a room where the floor was sloping so water appeared to flow up hill and other holograms and random things.

Next stop the Kawa??? Bridge - the original home of bungey. Dave had felt the need to jump off before and as he had won a freebie off of the driver, he tied himself to Bryony (a great girl from the UK that we have spent quite a lot of time with and had great fun) and they did a double. I found no need to jump - in fact watching made me feel rough.

We had splashed out in Queenstown and have a nice double ensuite with lake view. This did mean that we weren't allowed back in the hostel bar where the others were after midnight. It was all quite strange really as we were all kicked out the bar at 11.50 and then those staying could do back in after midnight. No big count down. Dave and I went down to the lake and sat there to see the new day come in and we had the benefit of a small firework display courtesy of a boat on the lake. It sent the ducks scattering in many directions.
