Slam, bam, thank you Ma’am, 48 hours in Queenstown

The young Torquay couple, well it turned out I kind of knew him. He plays footy for a team I write about for the newspaper
They invited me for a drink after the Ice Bar but I didn’t want to intrude on their holiday and politely declined. Was very nice of them.
I went to a sports bar for a beer and some wings, and by now the rain had set in so I headed back to the room around 11pm.
I asked for a noon checkout which was granted.
 
Got woken up by the room phone at 11.15am.
nobody was told about my noon checkout.
It was probably a good thing.
I’ve been sleeping really badly lately and I obviously needed it. Checked out right on noon and my flight isn’t until 6pm so I went for a walk down at the waterfront.
The place was humming.

A couple of things about last night.
At the Ice Bar there was an ocker bloke from outback SA.
I asked him if he was going to try the shot on the ice appendage.
“No effing way mate, not for me”
Nek minnut after I did it and everyone else had a crack he was doing it.
Hahahaha
Also as I was approaching the hotel at the end of the night there were two young women who couldn’t get in.
There mum was coming down to let them in.
The mum then appeared stark naked.
She was totally wasted…and naked.
The girls who were probably in their 30s were mortified.
They said that I probably should not look.
Hey right back at you sister I have no intention of looking and didn’t even want to see it the first time.
The mum didn’t have her card to let them in so I just used mine and got to my room as quickly as I could.

Forecast temp today is for 10 degrees.
As I type the NZ Met Service says it’s 7.9 degrees.
I kid you not, it feels like it’s at least 14 or 15.
No wind and bright sunshine.
