I got a job, and it was the job I wanted! It's at a restaurant called The Bathhouse and it's super cute. It only has 8 tables inside and 10 tables outside. The building is an original Victorian bathhouse built in 1911. It's right on the shore of Lake Wakatipu and has an amazing view of the sunset. Today is my third shift. It seems like it will be a relaxed place to work.

The Charlottes and I are getting a new flatmate on today and I'm less than thrilled. The guy moving in is friends with the current Colombian guy that lives here, he is actually over ALLLL the time and he is incredible rude. When I moved in he was laying on the couch watching tv and when I introduced myself he just said "Oh hey, I'm Camilo, I don't live there." And they just kept watching tv! None of my actually rooommates were even home but he was chilling in my living room. He cooks and makes a huge mess then doesn't clean up and showers at our house all the time. But what really gets me will forever be referred to has the Lasagna Incident; the other day he ate the Charlottes lasagna (took it from their shelf in the fridge) without asking then left his dishes on a chair in the living room. Who does that?! However I'm hopeful that between the Charlottes and myself nagging him we can actually get him to clean up and be less rude.
Thanks to Charlotte's (who everyone calls Charlie to make things easier) birthday I had a really great day doing some activities that Queenstown has to offer. After we had a decilous birthday breakfast I went yoga. Once I was back all the housemates hiked up to where the Gondola drops people off. The hike is steep but fun. It crosses the downhill bike paths a couple times and it's fun to watch bikers going super fast downhill.

At the top of the gondola there is an amazing view, a restaurant and a luge track. The luge track is basically a cement track and you sit on a plastic sled with wheels. I have never been luging before and it was pretty fun, even though I'm a scaredy cat and don't like to go fast. The track takes a couple minutes to go down and at the bottom a chairlift takes you back up. We did it 5 times and it cost $30 ($23 US dollars, for all of you curious back home).

Once we were done luging we hung out at the top for a bit before we walked back down. By the time we got down it was ready to get ready for Charlie's birthday dinner. After dinner we when out for drinks.
