April 23 - 9:40 pm

The weather was better today. Perfect for my hike. Not a long one - just up Mt. Iron. It was about an hour and a half. Good lookout point at the summit. Gorgeous Lake Wanaka. I repeat, beautiful fall colors. I walked back into town after my hike and sat by the lake and ate my lunch. By then the clouds were filling in, so I was back in my down coat again, but it was still pretty comfortable temperature. It started to rain a bit later, and I hung out inside at the hostel drawing. The paint app on my iPad provides me with endless entertainment.
Mom told me that she'd pay for me to go to a movie here, so I took her up on that. And she had told me that she liked the movie Warm Bodies - a zombie romantic comedy - so I bought a ticket for the 6:30 showing. I thought it might be entertaining.. I mean the trailer featured The Black Keys song, Lonely Boy. I like that song. The movie should be good.. Nope! I thought it was quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. Worse than Twilight number one. Same cheesy, so-bad-it's-funny factor. But not as good as Twilight. Ha yeah, sorry Mom. Bad taste in movies. The theatre was really cool though. Small! Only one screen, couches and different old comfy theatre seats, only about 50 seats. It was funky. So that kinda made up for the lame movie.
Back to Queenstown tomorrow afternoon.
