2007 - The New Year

QT gets VERY busy over New Year - it's seen as the party capital of the south island and as a result it attracts loads and loads of people. There were lots of bands playing and fireworks and all that jazz. Was a fun night.

Start the year with a bang.

Weeeee. Ahhhhh. Ohhhhhh. And other associated noises.

As a treat we went to the Minus 5˚ bar. It's a bar made entirely of ice. Your drinks get served in ice, the seats are ice, the floor is ice. You get the drift. Was a quite a "cool" experience. There were loads of fancy-dan ice sculptures and what-not and after you'd finished your drink you could either throw the glass away (common) or simply eat it (optional).

You're only allowed in for half an hour otherwise I think you'd die. This man had grown a silly beard purely for insulation purposes.

Just chillin'.

Look deep into the parka.
