Clubbing in Queenstown

Django and Kevin

Ahhhh what a weekend!!! I worked Saturday morning and managed to get the afternoon off. At 7pm-ish me, Kevin, Valentine and Django set off with 5 more following later. We picked up Jeff and then went for a few pre-drinks in Cromwell with an old friend of theirs called Lande. we sat by a lake and MAN was it windy. Eventually we went onto Queenstown where we sorted out our accomodation for the night at the Southern Laughter Lodge (An incredibly good backpackers with a little spa) then headed out into the town centre.

And here we got dinner. My friends I have discovered the worlds best burger joint. Connor Jipps when you get here man THAT is where we are going. Fergburger. They do the largest, tastiest burgers I have ever seen. It's so popular they even do souvenirs like t-shirts saying "In Ferg We Trust". It was SO good, I could barely even handle the breakfast burger! ... You get the idea.

Jeff, Valentine, Django and ???

The clubs were awesome, all free to get into and we just moved from club to club when we fancied a change. The music was amazing, stuff I had never heard before mostly with remixes of things you wouldn't expect working sooooo well. There is a huge cultural mix so you are guaranteed to meet many people unlike anyone you have ever met before. At about 4am most clubs begin to close but one called Electro Keller stays open till 8am, it's an underground bar with LOUD music. We raved it up in there till around 5am when we headed back to the hostel and sat around chatting till 6am-ish. Good times.

Risks of tree-climbing..

We had a very mellow Sunday. We spent the day in Queenstown wandering around the centre and visiting the park just lying around in the warm weather. We gradually got more and more childish running into the playground and having a great time on see-saws, swings etc. Then a bit of tree climbing, all good fun. Although I did bite off more than I could chew with one rather massive tree and ended up scraping my arm. (It looks worse than it is, honest) After messing around most of the day we set off for Roxburgh but not before driving up a hill to get a FANTASTIC view of Queenstown which we sat and admired for a while before eventually heading back. It's truly incredible how fast you make good friends here.
