Bike Day Insanity Fun!

So, in a grand effort to say I did it, I decided to bike from Arrowtown to Queenstown. Not going to lie, it was about 20km and there were several hills, and I wanted to die while going up a couple of those hills, but I made it! I’ve never been so happy to arrive somewhere! I stopped by my favorite hostel [Haka Lodge] and hung out with my favorite hostel staff, all of whom asked me “When are you coming home?” aka when was I coming back to the hostel! Although, I think my positive relationship with them stems from the fact that I was generous when sharing my Whittaker’s chocolate with them!

 

Now, since it was raining, George and I made plans to go trampolining for a couple hours, but first we had to pick up Callum [a student at Otago’s offshoot university in Queenstown specializing in hospitality and tourism] and drop him off at class. Due to the beauty of car relocation deals, George was being paid to watch over a BMW convertible… let’s just say in wildest dreams I never imagined driving around in a KOMPRESSOR with the top down in the alpine city of Queenstown. We had time before trampolining so we decided to grab a coffee and a caramel bar… OMNOMNOM!!!

So, I do not know if you have ever tried trampolining, but it is wicked fun and you definitely do not realize what hard work it is! I was exhausted after and hour and half of front flips into a foam pit and jumping 20 feet in the air on an Olympic trampoline. Thankfully, George is a kind, kind soul and offered to drive me back to Arrowtown so I did not have to take the 2hour bike ride back, regardless of how beautiful the ride is!

Courtney is arriving soon, so a family dinner is on the menu for the night! And, I am certainly looking forward to it! Cheers!
