So Mick (McKenny) arrived on Monday night (I was out at salsa so didn’t catch up until Tuesday). So Glynn

and I – who all met through the Trinity Climbing Club headed off on another adventure.

And it was definitely one of my favourite weeks in NZ to date. I guess Glynn and I have been busy with different things at the weekends – so it was great to hang out for a week (even if he is a big quitter-splitter type for leaving 39 Fendalton!)

So we drove down via Mt. Cook. We took Seamus along for the ride.

And headed (after a couple of ice-cream and separate pie stops) to Queenstown. That was a funny night – we had an excellent dinner in The Cow restaurant. I would recommend it to anyone. Incredible garlic bread – and in Micks words ‘The best pizza I’ve had – outside of Italy’. And I’d tend to agree.

I then went to ‘Pog Ma Thoins’ (the Irish pub – translation – kiss my arse).. to meet up with my friend Aoife who’s been working in Queenstown for the last 10 months or so. She was a little late to the pub – and I got chatting to a couple of other Irish ppl. Now here’s random for you – the guy – Andrew – turns out to be the brother of a good friend from college – Richard Doyle Tiny tiny world.
