Well I left queenstown after the skydive and headed north a little to Lake Wanaka. Ran round some of the lake and nearly fell of a cliff face that I shouldn't have been trying to climb up. But apart from a few scratches I am all good. Headed to the Toy and Transport Museum which has got the biggest collection of toys and cars you'll ever see, not bad considering it's just some blokes back yard (its's a big back yard though i'll give him that - it has 3 hangers in it)
Then I headed to Fox Glacier and went ice climbing for the day which was pretty cool. Weirdly despite global warming the glacier is advancing 1.3 metres a day which for a huge block of ice is pretty impressive. Whats more impressive though is that I met some Kiwis and they gave me Jamesons to drink so I was pretty chuffed about that.
Then off to the Abel Tasman National park for more running, sunbathing and general lazing around before jumping on the ferry and heading to the North Island. I have been to 2 internet cafes today - remembering my camera, but neither of them let me plug in a USB or CD so that sucked - I'll keep looking and add them when I can. I had a meal - a real meal, not just pasta tonight - splashed out and ate in a restaurant. Anyway that's me done for now. Will do photos as soon as I can.
