I was away on the job to Queenstown last May. It was my second time in Queenstown over my 7th month in New Zealand πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ.

Queenstown is beautiful. You've just got to live in the beautiful landscape.

On both occasions, it was a drive up the mountains, with my second one being the scariest mountain drive. I will share a video sometime when I have the chance to upload videos.

On our fourth day, it snowed, I was excited about the forecast and looked forward to snowfall.

When it started to snow, I was so excited because it was my first time witnessing snowfall, I made snowballs and played with them πŸ˜ƒ

But later it turned out to be a harsh cold day for me as it snowed with winds, and I got cold πŸ₯Ά

And you know what, not even the snowfall made us stop working, we erected a tent to continue working, lol...

My crazy job, even when it rains, we always have a tent to erect and carry on with work.

I can imagine. Those weeks away seem long… soon you are back.

Good to hear, here we have a cold spell with every day rain showers from a few hours. End of next week the temperatures go up again.
Take care Joe πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ˜Š
Sleep well…

Thanks Jackie 😊

Quite an experience for us to see snow, was lucky when young we had some in Johannesburg the whole city comes to a standstill.

Glad you have now enjoyed some, plenty more to arrive I am sure!

It was quite an experience I was so excited 😊
I missed the Johannesburg one last year.

Yes I experienced much volumes of snow the following week after Queenstown. I will share photos.
