Notes on Hostels

Apr 05, 2004 14:36

A few things I've noticed since last time I traveled in hostels...

(1) The internet is completely pervasive. Every hostel I've stayed in has it, even in a town of 300 people.
(2) I feel really old.

Queenstown!! Queenstown is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. There's a huge lake with mountains jutting out all around. It's like being in Zermatt or Chamonix, but with a lake.

The only bad thing about Queenstown is that it's got really good nightlife. I don't personally come to a beautiful place in the mountains to go out clubbing, but it seems that others do.

Tomorrow, I start the Routeburn tramp. (For those of you who don't know, tramping is hiking or backpacking, not slutting or whoring). It's been snowing up there, so it'll be interesting. It's a 3 day tramp, with huts along the way to stay in. It's supposed to be one of the best hikes in NZ.

That's all for now. I miss you all!
