Bye bye Jana

We drove back through the amazing mountains, along cliffs and around stupendous lakes back towards queenstown. We stopped off briefly in the autumnal arrow town for the autumn festivel. 

The vivid variety of colours of the leaves was breathtaking in the afternoon sunlight.

I stopped and offered to help a couple trying to change a flat tyre and was rewarded by finding out they owned a hostel in queenstown and gave us a private room for cheaper than a 12 bed dorm for my kindness.

We then moseyed back to queenstown and geared up for a good night out. A particular highlight was Jana getting hit on by this really drunk guy. She escaped by saying a decorative vintage phone was ringing and scooping it up and having a long conversation with no one.

Obviously I wasn't drinking due to the terms of my bale but that didn't stop me dancing my arse off all night long. We had a great time and finished the night at 5am in the hostels laundry room. We crashed for a couple of hours before sending Jana off on the bus to Dunedin bringing the team down to two.

It was an emotional goodbye and Jana will be sorely missed.
