Queenstown, NZ

Well, looks like I don't have to make a fast exit out of NZ. I think my visa extension has finally been resolved, meaning I can take a few more weeks here before shooting off to OZ and warmer weather. Pop, you asked about the weather here, and yes, after well over a year, I'm finally experiencing non summer like conditions. Queenstown is a ski town by winter and the slopes are trying to open sometime in the next month. That said, it's a bit chilly in the evenings here. However, I don't mind it, I haven't had cold weather in a while and when I get tired of it, I'll simply shoot off to OZ where it's sure to be warmer. I pulled my neck two days ago and slept on a large marshmallow last night. That, combined with the Police showing up in my dorm room around 4am last night, to return someone who was sleeping in the room from jail, meant I didn't have the most restful evening. I plan to take a bit of a nap and see if that helps. I did find the first diner in NZ that has free refills on its soft drinks, something I assumed only existed in the US. Decent menu too.
