We're nearing the end of our stay in Queenstown. We've had a nice time, but are feeling ready to move on. Milford Sound is our next stop, and we're hoping that the weather forecast improves for our three nights there. Right now they are calling for rain, wind, and cold temps at night (which isn't great when you're in a tent). But we're still giving it a go because we've been told it's one of the things in New Zealand that is unmissable. The weather here is also very changeable, so we're hoping the inclement weather doesn't materialise.
Yesterday we took the gondola to the top of the mountain overlooking Queenstown, and also did a couple of runs on the luge. It was great fun (and pretty much within budget)! As far as other adventure activities, we've given them a miss in favor of a safari in Africa. We also need a new camera too--something we'll purchase in Singapore.
Today we'll play either mini golf or frisbee golf, and then we'll get prepared for our early morning departure. Our bus leaves at 6.50am, so we need to get up especially early (and it might be showery too). It means that we'll probably make some noise at the campsite, but to be honest, I don't mind because we've had to put up with some very inconsiderate people around us. I can't wait for a good night's sleep.
That's all for now. Internet might be slow/expensive down in Fiordland, so I won't promise another blog until Te Anau...but watch this space just in case.
Love,
Ames

Smart to get a new camera in Singapore! I'm sure you'll get a great deal.
