Queentown

We both met up 4 separate times for a wee - ie we both didn’t sleep very well lol
But at least we got to sleep until 9.
Jade called the ski centre and we are getting reunds. They said for all 4 of us instead of 2… we shall see but I’ll view it as reimbursement for the taxi we had to get to frankton and my stupid lesson saga.

Walked down the hill and got on our wine hop on hop off bus.
We got off at Ayrburn winery which is only 4 months old - so very new. They spend 140 million so far and have another 200 mil to spend. It’s very well done. Lots of stone work, wood paneling and gravel roads to give it a nice rustic feel. I think it’s still looks quite fresh but in a few years when it’s a bit weathered it will feel more authentic.
Lovely!
There is a music festival up the mountains in the snow fields and in Queenstown in general this week so there was a bunch of purple flags around and a big stage which also messed with the vibes a little. We are all quite hungry but the menu was so unnecessarily fancy so we chose to not eat eat and just got muffins and hot drinks. We walked around a bit and are now back on the bus.

Stopped at nockies palette.
Which was very pretty. We did a wine tasting with 5 wines.
I’m sure wine people make things up. The 100 flavors and undertones they reckon exist are such a stretch.
Still, I had a really wonderful time.
The gardens were lovely and it had a cute chapel.
We are now on the bus again on our way to lunch.

Stopped at “the church” and are currently awaiting our lunch order which we are very excited about - we have ordered baked Brie and ive gotten another salad.
The grounds has lots of games like volleyball, a cricket pitch and that backyard tennis game with the ball attached to the stick, a hackey sack throw game and a trampoline.
Went on the trampoline and landed some flips yeww 🤙🏼🤙🏼 lol.

Cheese was so good!!! Came with a pear and fig chutney and I don’t know how, but I’m going to try make it at home lol.
We played the sack throw game for a while and went back on the trampoline. Then me and Will played a lot of a volleyball on a string/pole game except the ball was hard and our hands were cold
So it hurtttttt.
We are now back on the bus dropping other people at different wineries but we are going to go back to Queenstown.

Also. We did get reimbursed for 4 ski tickets haha

At home I finally did some reading and watched ho to lose a guy in 10 days in the background. We he another noodles dinner because none of us were particularly hungry.En savoir plus
