I travelled the world on a push bike in a former lifetime and never got anything stolen. One winter I headed up North on the treddly and got my polar fleece pants stolen off the back of the bike while parked up outside the Pak'n'Save in Blenhiem.

The good turn is all right .... no problems with that. The honey in the shed just takes up too much space which means a truck has to sit out in the frost. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mind you, that can be handy if you need a holiday and can't afford to go overseas. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The paper I work for covers the Queenstown court and it's all bad tourist driving, bad tourist drinking, drink driving and fights in the Fergburger queue It's a nice place to be on holiday for a short time though and the scenery is lovely.

People will wait for hours and hours in a line in the freezing cold to get one, once you get near the front of the queue there’s a heater, it wouldn’t surprise me if the fights are over space in front of that ? I didn’t think they were that great but it’s just one of those things you supposedly have to do if you go to Queenstown. 5 hours ago, Janice said: Did you see any fights?

Hahahaha this does not surprise me at all. I saw rather a lot of bad tourist drinking. No fights but I did see a bus sliding backwards on the ice down a very steep hill going up to the Remarkables, that was quite a sight, I was fortunate to be on the bus behind it, which didn’t slide, that was quite exciting, it definitely made me less keen for the next days bus trip. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
