Hello.
Dawn@SydneyHeads Welcome to a light diary covering my 3 weeks on the south island of New Zealand. I’m a 30-something australian male, here for a holiday, catching up with a friend, a week of boarding in Queenstown… some getting to know the neighbours.
The first jetcat out of town, and a perfect pink sunrising over the sydney heads commenced a day of dull waits. Patience was in abundance, since I’m feeling very tired after pushing myself to get lots done over the weekend. Before I say too much however, gotta see if I can get the camera hooked up. Back in a minute. (famous last words?)
Oh dear, the chinaman wants an extra $5.00 to plug in a camera, which is definately outrageous. I’m not going to consume that much bandwidth now really?
Well if that’s the norm, then I guess the photos will be coming in bursts. I’ll post them when I have a few more.
Time to explore the town. A true geek, I arrived in a new country and I’ve wound up in front of the first computer I saw. Navigating away from the Starbucks, past the cathedral I need to wander into someone’s backyard and find the chicken coup which will provide the key to a house full of strangers who know someone I know. Thus a new adventure begins…
