Well here we are in Queenstown, the home of bungy etc etc. Its a strange place, for me , a bit of tack in beautiful countryside and I mean beautiful. Big mountains, huge lakes and back to big blue skies after the snowy day.Saturday we woke to snow capped mountains, but that has all disappeared now. we have even had our shorts on again. We sailed in the ferry, took a ride in the cable car, walked up "Queenstown Hill" not very high at 3000 feet, great views from the top.
We visited Gibstons winery and had a great lunch, spoke to Sue, who is looking forward to her uk visit and threatened us with more boys running about the back lane, when they visit Wordies. A wander around Arrowtown, which is New Zealands version of Grasmere, very touristy, very picturesque we loved it.
We know the Rovers result, which is disappointing, but we are going to watch the game tonight at 5.30pm NZ time, no one showed it live and our accomodation here is a little antiquated, thats the house, the furniture and the owner-we don't have a tv in the room and he definately doesn't have sky tv on his little portable!!
We leave Queenstown on Tue, and head to Lake Tekapo for a night in the Youth Hostel-evidently one of the best views in NZ, so looking forward to taking some more great photos. Then Wed we fly to San Francisco and arrive before we set off (That should bugger up the body clock then)staying there for a couple of days....
more to come then ..........keep reading.
