Thursday 26th February

We spent some time in Queenstown this morning because it is a vibrant place with a good feel to it.


We drove along the shores of the lake to Glenorchy. The water was virtually still.


Just outside the town is this waterfall by the roadside. We walked up a rough path to get a closer look.


We stopped at Shotover Canyon to watch the jet boats speeding up the river.



We took a side road up to Coronet Peak and the views from here, though hazy, were wonderful.



Arrowtown is a small old goldmining town with lots of preserved houses from 150 years ago.

We took a back road by the Cardona River and enjoyed some open views of the mountains we were passing through.

We arrived in Wannaka in the late evening and this is the view from our room.

Fabulous photos, fabulous scenery - and only half way through your holiday! Almost feel like I am with you, such is the quality of your blog. Just back from a week cruising from Dubai - absolutely amazing places! Missing the golf. Pete.
