HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY DAWN

Stress

well today was the most hectic day, Our woofer Scottish Richard had to leave because he had a phone call that he got his girl pregnant in Dunedin.So we just had 3 staff on today and we got hammered it was raining this morning so no one was checking out on time plus it was my day off (mark) but had to work 4 hrs to help everyone catch up.

We had check ins from 8:30 am all through the day and the phone ringing none stop....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mel & Alan plus bex

Today we got a total shock our friends from Dunedin turned up out the blue we knew they were heading this way but they just turned up!!! (They got fired from there hostel job!!!)

They managed to blag a gig at the fox hotel so we all went down to see them play and catch up with them.

It was a cool night we were glad they showed up when they did it was good to see a familiar face and have a good chat with them.

Plus bex is leaving the team on Monday so was good excuse to go pub

Bex is leaving us DONT GO DUDE!!
Its them again the guitar guy and flute lady!!! The A-Team liz,mark and bex doing bex's fav pose!

Fox Trot Walk

 

Today we finally managed to bag a free walk worth $89 each.We decided to do a half day glacier walk after a mix up with the miserable attomic shuttle people messed us around with our planed trip to hokitika.

Anyway the walk took us 1 and half hrs to reach the start of the ice walk and in total we spent 1 hour 15 min walking on the ice...

Road trip in gypsy

 

Tonight we took a ride in Bex's van gypsy.She had cooked us all a stuffed pumpkin so after tea we headed down to lake matheson again to watch the sunset and hopefully see Mt cook and tasman Which we did in the end amazing how quick things change here.It was cloudy but the clouds turned the most amazing orange and pick they went away and then it was perfectly clear and we could cook again!!!

the difference in 30 minutes

Chalet View Lookout

Yesterday we made the most of the nice weather and walked to the chalet view lookout to see fox glacier. It took us 4 hours with a half hour rest stop!!

We are now working here in fox till 14th April so an extra month. Then we will have around 6 weeks till we fly back to UK.

Decided to come back on BUNAC visa (18-35) which we will apply for when we get home again. This will give us another year working holiday over here, with which we will travel south island again but this time spend 3 months in Australia:-)

Bye to our friend

Today we said good bye to our friend Yan who as been woofing with us in Fox.

hope you enjoyed the glow worms!!!
