My Week In Tweets – 2012-03-25

  • 3G access in Queenstown. Brace yourselves for an onslaught of gibbery tweeting. #
  • Scotland get the Spurtle. We may be shite at rugby but at least there'll be lovely creamy porridge for breakfast. #fb #
  • About to experience the famed Fergburger. But can it live up to the hype? #
  • Fergburger http://t.co/qqu6ZaHh #
  • So…Fergburger: pretty average. Not even close to being the best burger ever. The Fat Tui in Marahau is orders of magnitude better. #fb #
  • Just booked to hike the 60km Kepler Track, one of NZ's 'Great Walks', from Thursday to Saturday. My calf muscles are already complaining. #
  • Activities-wise I'm on a roll. But next Monday I'll be on a horse: I've just booked a half-price deal on a 3-hour scenic ride in Glenorchy. #
  • Sunset on the Remarkables http://t.co/xWo3cdp0 #
  • In beautiful Te Anau about to set off to walk the Kepler Track over the next three days. Miss you already. I'll be back… #
  • Completed the walk from Te Anau to the Mt Luxmore Hut in a little over four hours. It's cold above the tree line. Will be a chilly night. #
  • I'm back at the hostel after walking the last 22km of the Kepler in the pouring rain today. Everything hurts. Even my beer is wincing. #
  • My grand tour of NZ may end in the next couple of weeks as the need to work rears its head again. Contemplating a return to Wellington. #
  • I'm walking around the hostel stiff-jointedly as though the lower half of a Dr Frankenstein experiment. The prospect of stairs terrifies me. #
  • New Zealand's stupid 'give way' rules change at 5am tomorrow morning. I expect carnage on the roads. #
  • Forget GoreTex. Waterproof jackets should be lined with budget tea towels. I have never encountered a material so impervious to water. #fb #
