Nov 23 - Queenstown and Ferg Burgs

Hopped on the Naked Bus this morning (which has no requirement for lack of clothing) which was a small shuttle bus size, rather than the full size Magic buses we are accustomed to. The road towards Queenstown was really twisty and we all got tossed back and forth inside the bus. We stopped at a salmon farm for a lunch break, but their EFTPOS (debit/credit) system was down, so no food for us. Continued along and stopped a few times for little breaks. The twisting mountain roads, and turquoise blue streams running alongside the road looked a lot like Jasper or Banff. Eventually we reached Lake Wanaka, which was a beautiful little town and we took the stop time to snag some Subway. The bus then carried onwards to Queenstown, and we were dropped at the bus stop and told how to get to the YHA, but the driver told us how to get to the central YHA instead of the Lakefront YHA. So we had to wander for awhile to find the correct hostel. Checked in and ran into Sarah, so chatted for awhile and she said Enrico and Bahmini were at Milford Sound and getting back soon. So we waited for those two to show up and the 4 of us went to get dinner at Ferg Burger, which is a world famous burger joint. The burger was delicious (albeit expensive) and was probably the #3 best burger I'v eaten, behind the ones in Auckland and Rainbow Beach. From Ferg Burger, we migrated to a bar and had teapots of alcohol/juice mixes that were totally girly, but also delicious. Checked out a couple more bars and Jag bombs were consumed. Then a stumble home and thus ended the night.
