Catching Up

I'm pretty sure we're not really related.

Her fiance, Shane, is equally fit. He's also into snowboarding and running and also off road mountain biking and things that make you sweat in an unpleasant manner.

But it doesn't matter how fit you are, 27 hours either sat on a plane or in transit will turn anyone into a pale, red eyed zombie. I met them at the airport, they were totally shattered but starving so we headed into town for a feed.
It was like Return Of The Living Dead, I half expected them to foam at the mouth and lunge at passers by screaming "braaaaiiiins!"

Its awesome to see them both though after over 2.5 years. When they decided they wanted to come and visit we decided on the south island on account of the fact that's where Queenstown is and for some reason they thought that throwing themselves off stuff would make for a relaxing holiday so after we'd eaten I dropped them at their accommodation with some teabags (you can take the poms out of England...) and enough leaflets and maps to make a rainforest cringe so they'd have some idea of what they'd let themselves in for over the next three weeks.

Bring on the South Island tourist whirlwind.
