So the following day Tuesday 7th we arrived in Queenstown! We first went to Emily (Carolyn's daughter) and Jonny's house in Kelvin Heights, where we had dinner and also met happy Abby (18 months). After dinner Emily took us into Queenstown where we went to a church called "on the Rock' Vineyard. Very small service of eight and quite intense, but it was a real blessing of God we went, because we met a guy named Greg, from Reading. We all went out for a drink after the service and found out he'd gone to church with cousin Anna and also visited our Auntie and Uncles orphanage in Zambia, Just CRAZY!
The next morning in Queenstown, everything was very expensive and obviously really touristy! So that afternoon we went back to Emily and Jonny's. We caught the bus half way and walked the rest, it was super hot and we had our packs on so it was a very tiring, sweaty walk. At the end I jumped in the lake, but that was all because it was so cold!

During the next few days we mainly helped Emily in the garden and maxed out in the sun. Queenstown is really weird in that the bad (rainy) weather seems to go either side so we got some blistering hot days! We also looked after Abby who is hilarious and gave us loads of laughs!
One day we borrowed some mountain bikes and cycled round the Kelvin Peninsular really cool way to see the lake especially in the sun.
On the Thursday we met up with some girls that we met in YWAM in Oxford. We played Frisbee golf in the park, ate at padagonia's ice craem and had a Fergburger for lunch and dinner ("little lamby" and "the cod father")

On the Friday Beth and I walked up Ben Loman, the big mountain behind Queenstown.
Sunday we went to Emily and Jonny's church, afterward we had dinner at "Winnies" the most hilarious Irish waitress, she had us in stitches. That evening we went to a youth church called Freedom, just amazing worship and people.
All in all Queenstown was amazing but mainly because of the people we could never of stayed there for a week and enjoyed it so much without them!
Is there more to life than this? |
