Friday, April 6: Queenstown

Ok, today was certainly the most food oriented day, and I cannot imagine transcending this one. It took an hour during breakfast to decide what we wanted to do for dinner. We decided to go with Nyokies (how the hell do you spell that???) in mashroom Alfredo souce, with beans, salad, and banana split for desert. The Nyokies, where to be done from scratch, like everything else.
It an hour to buy groceries, 2.5 hours to cook, 1 hour to eat, and 30 min, for the dishes. In total, we spent about 6 hours for dinner - what an achievement. Needless to say, we are now known as the group that takes over the kitchen. Rachel (the british girl), gets free dinner. Not really free actually - she does all the dishes. We're all willing to spend an extra couple of dollars and not worry about it once we can't move anymore. It works well for everyone I guess.

One thing I did get to do today, in addition to the Spa, was renting a tandem bike with Nir. It was funny as hell as we were riding in town circling the roundabouts several time, driving the wrong way, and watching the locals watch us in shock and awe...

The pubs opened at midnight tonight. Yesterday they closed at midnight, and tomorrow they also close at midnight. It's this whole Easter thing. Go figure...
