Today we got up ready to check out of the hostel at 10am. We are leaving New Zealand today to head to Australia but our flight doesn't leave until the afternoon so we took our bags to the lads room to keep there until we leave for the airport. I spent some time with Graham while Gina made some phone calls. Then Gina and I went to the Cathedral Square cafe with Graham for breakfast. We were feeling really tired from the night before. Afterwards we went back to the...

This morning Gina and I had a lay in after a heavy night. We heard Sam leave at 7am and said goodbye to her and then Charlotte and Kim left at 10am so we said goodbye to them as well. Once we had got up we went to the lads room and they were heading down the beach. The weather was sunny but cold as well so I decided not to go to the beach.

Mount Cook is New Zealand's high...

It's so high and you can see the whole of Queenstown. The views are spectacular. We went to the restaurant for the buffet lunch. There was a wide range of choice here and it was r...

The Kawarau jet boat leaves every hour and we were booked on the 10am ride but it needed more than 2 people to do it so were told to come back at 11am and see if more people had booked at this time. Andrew and I went to get breakfast in a cafe and then went back to the main town pier f...
