The Day after...
Dave insisted we got up early on Boxing Day - a struggle for me.
We found a decent cooked breakfast and internet and did washing (an admin day). I also managed to see quite a bit of a Pompey game on TV - not all bad.
We went up the cablecar to get views of Queenstown and the lake and then wandered round the shops. We also had a reccie for a potential volleyball court. At 6pm we met many of the others from the Stray bus and with our newly purchased ball of string rigged up a volleyball net between two trees on some grass near the beach and about 10 of us played a scrappy but fun game of volleyball with a few others watching.
Once again when we came to eat everywhere seemed to have closed its kitchen so we had fish and chips by the lake and joined the others on a pub crawl. It was our last night with the three Scottish lads Richard, Barry and Chris so about a dozen of us did a tour of five of the local bars before frequenting the hostel bar. New pool game: - start with the white ball on a note and you have to hit it down to the far cushion back to the top cushion and land back on the note. No-one won but great fun trying.
