From Grads to Nomads

Today we drove 5 hours to Queenstown, the drive was rather uneventful. We really enjoyed our brief stay at the hostel in Franz Josef Glacier. Last night we enjoyed watching a movie in the room, Pay It Forward, and then we went out in the dark into the woods to find glow worms. We did indeed find some, and they are very cool looking, appearing as tiny bluish white dots in the under scrub amoung the trees. On the driev today, I began to really dislike the Kiwi system of one lane bridges, for there are a TON through the mountains and it means the car is constantly stopping and starting again as you have to ensure no traffic is coming across the brideg at you.....we were wondering....how much more could it REALLY have cost to build 2 lane bridges!!

Queenstown looks just like Banff, and now it is time to finally attempt to find work and a place to live.....looks as though it may be a bit of a challenge, tomorrow will be the first day out searching, so keep tuned in for updates!
