I have arrived at the gorgeous Lake Tekapo.
It was so frustrating this morning - perfect, perfect conditions for the hot air balloon. It would have gone up with me in it except the other people who were going to go dropped out, so there weren't enough numbers. I was so upset when I heard that because there wasn't a cloud in sight. I was slightly more annoyed to think that actually it was beyond me anyway - standing up for an hour. I struggle to stand long enough to shower. Who was I kidding?
Anyway, I am going to more than make up for that here. I am going to go on every blooming helicopter flight there is here and spend as much money as I can. So there.
The sky is the clearest here of anywhere in New Zealand. You can go star gazing at night (hurrah!). There are also boat cruises (hurrah!), hot springs (hurrah!) and a girl with tweezers in my room to sort my eyebrows out (hurrah!)
