We had a the regular stress of air travel, this time trying to pull the wool over the eyes and scales of Jetstar staff. With 19kg of carry on luggage and a few other tricks of the trade we made it to Christchurch and then Queenstown without excess baggage fees so that was a good start to the trip.
The in Queenstown has been just magnificent. I'm started looking for a new job in Queenstown because as long as the weather says like this I'm not going home. Last night we met our new team member Glen Currie from Methven near Christchurch. After a few months of email contact it was great to finally meet and see that we were going to get along well and have few laughs, mostly at the expense of other NZ teams.
Today we spent the whole day with the Nothin' But Shorts international conglomerate of photographers, media staff, Macpac owners and Team Seagate and Girls On Top. We visited a range of locations, firstly Moke Lake for a bit of riding and trekking.
Then back through Queenstown then over to Onsen Hot Pools to recover from the very tiring morning session.
Then to Skippers Canyon for another short bike and trekking stage.
And finally a lovely meal at Botswana Butchery to get some quality food before we start living on carbs and salt.
