its patricks day off today. so he drove us around with dorai. todays itinerary: cherry picking at cromwell and jet boat at lake wakatipu. So we had breakfast at thaitani a thai restaurant in queentown. the servings were quite big. enough for 2. and we over ordered. I had the eggs benedict with salmon and cheese toast. Yummy! they even had coconut juice. didnt expect them to have it in queenstown. then after bfast we went to cromwell about 30 minutes drive. went to pick some cherries. there were a lot of cherry trees at the farm. tried some dried kiwis and strawberries at the farm. i prefer the fresh ones though. we were done at 2pm. so we rushed back to town to catch our reserved jet ride at 3pm. but unfortunately, we were late, then had to rebooked for the 4 pm ride. while waiting they decided to have some ice cream. i opted not to have one as i was a bit nervous for the ride. heard it will be faster than the other day. so i better not eat anything. 5 of us were suppose to be going on the ride but it ended up with the two of us, ninay and i. felt pretty good after the first spin, it was fast and harder. so about 30 mins on, i started to feel a bit woosy. my forehead started to build some sweats and i felt hot. i kept quite the rest of the way hoping my stomach will stay at bay. lucky enough after several more spins we headed back to dock. at one point i could have sworn that the boat didnt move. thank god when it stopped. my pants got wet, not dat i peed myself but of the cold sweat. and my hair fot all tangled up. so after the ride we went to the casino. i had a coke to get the air out of my tummy. and i found out from dorai that walter and patrick hurled after the ride last time. huh, after hearing that i felt a bit better and proud of myself. comparing myself with the 2 guys and 1 of which is a big dude. so at the casino i spent about 20 minutes just to fix my hair back. then had some fish and chips at a small shack near the lake. very fresh, reminds me of UK. since it was our last night in queenstown, they decided to have BBQ and a karaoke at their home. very entertaining by the time we went to bed it was almost 2 am.
i had a very good time in queenstown. i hope to visit during winter and do some extreme sports or ski next time. a shout out to my cousins for bringing us around and taking the time off work. a very special place with unexpected beauty.
