][=][ ][

I got back yesterday!!!

hmmppph i guess your gonna wanna hear all abt it huh?

well ill start of wen we left

ok...well we had to wake up amazingly early the 1st day

our flight to christchurch went smooth but they sed we wouldnt have to touch our baggage until queenstown but we did, and we had to go thru customs i hate customs, and we got stopped coz we had chocolate. neways umm we went and then we had lunch there...and then went to check in at the domestic transfer desk....which just so happened to be bloody closed so we had to run thru the whole airport trying to find the desk which was on the otha side of the airport and then we checked in our bags and then headed to the departure gate, where the spker sed our plane was diverted to invercargill !!! so we went to invercargill,(the smallest airport i eva seen) and then we had to take a coach to queenstown and the whole way the heater was so annoying i hate the heater. neways, then we got to queenstown airport which was where ski express was supposed to take us to the hotel. they were a no show for like half a hr. hmmm neways they came and we went to the hotel and they gave the wrong room to mum and dad for the night and we put our bags down and went out to eat. we went to "Avanti"(i think im gonna be advertising a few places in q'town) which is a italian resturant, best pizzas, but they got our order wrong neways, then we went bak home and went to sleep.

the next morning dad woke us up bright and early to go skiing at coronet peak which was fun. mum only fell over once the WHOLE day, which was a record for her. its so annoying getting the skis there and back, and all that its soooooo tiring  lol. that night we went to this resturant which the heata was so boiling and for once in q'town i was boiling. i mean the weather outside is like 0 degrees even less i  thinkk it got to -15 degrees . yeh i had spare ribs that nite...mmmmmmmm ribs....neways yeh.

for the next 4 days we went to the remarkables

it takes like 45min to get there from our hotel. wen we get there its impossible to get from the bus stop to the base without  slipping. its either go on the magic carpet or walk up on the snow. beside that they had good trails and off trail places yeh it was cool.

neways on the 3rd last day, dad woke me up so early and we got into this coach which had a glass route. we went to this place and if that driver told me that milford sound was a fiord not a sound once more and explained why it isnt i swear to god! neways, then we went on a cruise and we were under a waterfall and with mum as the director, i was filming with the video camera. on the way bak we stopped off in te anau and i bought a book, postcards and a all blacks ball(which came with a posta of them) its amazing the rivalry between nz and aus. on t-shirt sed " i go for 2 teams,  new zealand and anyone playing australia"... and they hate themselves. they had a picture of how to prepare a kiwi. they had the pic of the bird and then it  ended up as kiwi fruit...

neways on the 2nd last day WE WENT ON THE SHOTOVER JET

SO FUN!!!! it actually a jetboat with 2 v8 engines, it was so fast but it was so cold on the face. but he did cool 360s and it was soo fun.  then we went walking for a while and headed bak to the hotel and started packing. that night was the 2nd nite we had fergburgers (best burgers in the world)

neways, then we went to sleep.

yesterday, i got to go on another jet boat ride. the guy sitting next to me didnt have a beanie on and his face was bloody red. so funny.

neways, we had a coffee (mochachino is da way to go) lol and we had some lunch and then we headed back to the hotel where the ski express ppl were running late again so they eventually picked us up and we sed goodbye to my bro then the guy took us to the airport. my dad has a bladder problem everywhere he sees a toilet he goes. neways we eventually got here with no delays, via auckland which bloody hell we had to wait there as long as it took to get from q'town to auckland, to get to the checkin. then we paid our depature tax, headed for the duty free and then got on the plane for home.

the plane was good, i had ravioli... neways, yeh, mum went into the other passport holders line instead of aussie passport line...she went ahead coz her side of the plane got off 1st... so then we had to go bak to the aussie passport holders line for immigratiob which was pretty short then we went to baggage claim, ours were like  the last ones to come....hmm...then we declared some stuff to customs, that didnt take long, then we went to the taxi

on the way home, the taxi smelt like hair gel so badly.  the driver was like a 65 yo and had hair gel hmmm neways then we got home and the first thing i did was run dwnstairs to pepi and he was there, cute as ever, but hungry as ever. neways yeh, that was my trip, i kno i missed tons of things but im to bored and jetlagged so ill leave it at that.
