The last couple of weeks have been amazing here in Queenstown. Blue sky, no wind and today is supposed to get to 24C (about 80F ) even though it did get to -2C overnight (28F).
Yesterday I went for a hike walk around the lake and there were boats out on the lake and even some folks water skiing. At the end of my walk I was hot and would have loved a swim but the water is super super cold!!! I’m told it is like that all summer as well – even in the middle of summer people will water ski in a dry suit.
Now that the mountain has closed I think I should move on.
The obvious choice is the north coast of Sydney, where I was before I came over here. I have a great bunch of friends there, the beach is fantastic, it isn’t too expensive to rent within walking distance of the beach (or maybe even on the beach). But I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions?
I hear South America is much more speedo friendly or maybe even somewhere in the Carribean. I’m pretty open to suggestions as long as it has a decent internet connection and the more speedo friendly the better. If there is a surf break that is nice but not the be all and end all.
This pic below is the ‘Speedo Photo of the Day’ over at my site SwimmerBoyz.com. They aren’t actually speedos – they are AussieBum underwear.
Years ago I bought a pair of these but they were too small and they never really fit that well but I’m thinking of buying some more just to try them out again. Do any of you guys own some of these? I have like 2 pairs of ‘normal’ underwear – of course the rest are speedos and I think I might have to grab some more.
Darn these guys look good in their underwear.
This morning I woke up nice and early to a gorgeous day. Not a cloud in the sky, a little cool and not a breath of wind.
I hadn’t made any plans for the day but there was no way I could spend the day inside so I jumped in the car and headed down to Glenorchy where there are a bunch of hiking tracks (they call it ‘tramping’ in NZ). In the end I decided to shoot up the Routeburn Track (one of the ‘Great Walks’). I had been up there years and years ago and I was keen to see how far up I could get.
Surprisingly there was a little bit of snow up high which stopped me in my tracks but I had a great 7hr walk, there wasn’t many people about and I think I even got a little burnt.
I got the camera out a couple of times but these photos really don’t do it justice.
