Oh my god it's yet another journal entry from Queenstown! I have so many entries from here it's unbelievable, but get ready for a lot more of them as I've just sorted myself out to stay in my beloved queenie for another month!! Haha I'm so happy. I will once again be living in discovery lodge though possibly in a different room as from 10am tomorrow I will be one of the cleaning crew, ah the glamour!
