More Buses

Saturday...in the freezing weather this morning, I boarded another bus, heading to Queenstown (adventure capital of the world) The mountains on the drive down were absolutely breathtaking!! We actually had to stop for a little while so that the roads could thaw out before we could continue. As we drove, I saw tons of sheep, cattle, and reindeer (kind of a cool animal to farm!) The snowcapped mountains lined our entire 7 hour drive and all we could think about was skiing. As we came into Christchurch, we overlooked Lake Wakitupu which is composed of solely glacier water and has a beautiful turquoise tint! We are staying in an 8 bed hostel, but the 4 girls get their own room and we share a kitchen and bathroom with Jordan and 3 other British guys. We jumped in the "spa" (hot tub) and then made a huge spaghetti dinner for the "family" (we really are that close now!)
